Bay OK Garden Designs

Not sure where to start?

Take the guesswork out of garden design

Our garden designs have been developed to support your creation of a new Bay OK Garden or verge.

Consider plant layouts and elevations, as well as complimentary plant species, specifications and soil preparation for a successful Bay OK Garden.

You can find more tips and the recommended plant species for each garden design in the downloadable guides below.

Prepared by local landscape architects, Total Horticultural Services, you’ll find a garden design that calls to you!

Classy columns

Pimelea Design

Strong, geometric patterns of plants with contrasting foliage and soft textures.

Tall plants are columns emerging from a bed of round and delicate shrubs that direct you round the garden path.

 

Modern Australia

Astartea Design

Combines a modern aesthetic with an informal planting scheme.

This design is extremely versatile. The use of natural materials combined with your choice of colour can convey a coastal, bush or even cottage feel.

 

 

 

Emerald carpet

Kennedia Design

Low-lying plants and ribbons of groundcover give this design a structured yet soft feel.

A path leads from the home to a circular viewing area. Two neat trees provide shade for this calming, low-maintenance garden.

Heavenly hedges

Hibbertia Design

Neat, structured and orderly.

The hedges are high enough to provide privacy and the shrubs and grasses low enough for you to appreciate the lines and symmetry of this design.

A large shrub or tree sits neatly in the central line, to be enjoyed from indoors and outdoors.

Educating and inspiring our community

Demonstration Gardens

Did you know there are also a number of Bay OK demonstration gardens that are educating and inspiring our community?

Our Bay OK demonstration gardens showcase a variety of beautiful gardens. Located across Busselton and Dunsborough, the gardens are all low nutrient, waterwise and use WA native plants to support local biodiversity. Together, with our partners, we are using the gardens to support our community in creating Bay OK gardens while providing increased amenity in our urban spaces.
