Hi, I'm John Phillips. I'm a qualified horticulturist with over twenty years experience working in both private and public gardens, including the Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne and the University of Melbourne. My qualifications include an Associate Degree in Horticulture and a Graduate Certificate in Garden Design from the University of Melbourne, Burnley Campus.

​​

After many years installing and maintaining gardens of all sizes, I now specialise in the maintenance of small gardens such as courtyard and balcony gardens. I can help you give your small garden a giant impact.

​

I have designed many beautiful, unique gardens from scratch. I have also designed many stunning and budget-friendly Planting Plans, where the existing garden layout is retained and a new and exciting plant pallette is devised to bring the garden back to life.

​

I also provide a very popular and informative Garden Consultation service, where for a flat fee we take a 1 to 1.5 hour stroll through your garden to answer your questions and discuss your garden's possibilities and potential improvements. Feel free to take notes, or for an additional fee I will provide a 2-3 page written report. Makes a great GIFT VOUCHER for the keen gardeners in your life.

​

For those of you looking to sell your property, my Pre-Sale Garden Advice service is a must! Get the best out of your garden for those all-important Open-For-Inspections and Real Estate promotional photos. An on-site meeting and a written report of recommendations will help maximise your sale price. 

​​

Sick of paying retail prices for your plants? I will organise the supply of your plants at Trade prices through wholesale nursery group Plantmark. An hourly administration fee is your only additional cost.​
