SECRET GARDENS Australia

Australian award-winning landscape design company, Secret Gardens, shares their favourite projects through luscious photography in a new hardback coffee table book, SECRET GARDENS. As our lifestyles become more hectic, our outdoor areas and green spaces have turned to become our sanctuary, a place to escape and disconnect from our often too hectic lifestyle.

An essential part of our wellbeing, gardens make us feel good. For the traditionalist, the garden is a place to connect with Mother Nature, to get their hands dirty and wrestle with the seasons. For children, it is a place to play and explore. For others, it is a place to entertain, to spend time with family and friends.

Each garden is unique, as each client is different. They are accompanied by descriptions in which director Matthew Cantwell explains the project, how each dramatic transformation was achieved and how the design team overcame the challenges presented. From compact gardens to rambling grounds, SECRET GARDENS is a visual feast of contemporary residential landscaping, offering a rich resource of inspiration for readers. It showcases a variety of gardens, each highlighting perfect harmony between the built elements and planting and the balance of form and function.
