Auckland public gardens

Nick redesigned public bedding display gardens in south and east Auckland to replace the traditional bedding, which was changed three times a year at considerable expense, with permanent perennial planting of colourful flowering and foliage plants that give strong display qualities and reduce costs. Work has included all design from initial concepts to planting plans and site supervision. A number of these are now well established and illustrate an approach to using perennials that is well suited to residential sites.
