By definition, a garden is a planned space that has been set aside for the cultivation and enjoyment of plants – but there are few other limits to a garden, they don’t even have to be outdoors. Large gardens can typically surround a house but smaller gardens can be found virtually anywhere, on the smallest of balconies, rooftops or in the most heavily built-up areas.

The benefits of having a garden are plentiful. A well cared for garden can add significantly to the value of your property and when the time comes to sell, first impressions count – and usually the first thing a prospective buyer sees is your garden. And the reverse is true too, a badly cared for garden will most definitely have a negative effect on your chances of finding a buyer prepared to pay full price for your property.

But beyond the fiscal advantages is the priceless quality that a tranquil oasis of greenery can bring to your life. Relaxing in, or taking care of a garden is widely considered to be one of life’s greatest stress busters and of course gardening is a pastime enjoyed by millions across the globe.

However, at Geelong Small Garden Design we appreciate that not everybody has the time, knowledge or inclination to spend time creating or tending for a garden which is why we offer a comprehensive gardening service for you. 

Our previous experience in the industry includes curating the wonderful Royal Botanical Gardens, Melbourne, the Melbourne Museum gardens and offering a consultation service in all areas of botany and horticulture. Now though, we are specialising in small garden design, including balcony gardens in and around Geelong. No space is too small for a garden, and even if you think you have no space at all – there is usually the option for a vertical garden that requires almost no footprint at all!

From the very beginning of the process, designing a garden with scale diagrams, through to ongoing garden maintenance, garden renovation and even including fruit tree pruning all over Geelong, we are here to help you.

We can work with you to create exactly the garden you desire, whether you prefer an ornamental, tropical or heritage garden – even gardens with exceptionally low maintenance and water needs. And once your garden is established, we can offer a level of support that suits you too. 

You may have no experience or knowledge of maintaining a garden but possess the willingness to learn – if that is the case, we can train you in the particulars of garden maintenance in Geelong until you have the confidence and skills to take over full responsibility yourself. But if your lifestyle doesn’t afford you the opportunity to undertake gardening duties, we will happily do so for you.

Gardens have so much to offer in financial, therapeutic and environmental terms, there really isn’t any real reason to miss out on having your own urban oasis.
