ROSANNA

Located in Rosanna, this project features a new front garden with bluestone terrace, exposed aggregate driveway, densely planted perennial garden and gravel void showcasing a mature lemon-scented gum. An indoor/outdoor connection was established with the kitchen and lounge opening onto a paved courtyard with covered pergola. The materials and plant palette was inspired by client favourite Ulf Nordjfell’s Daily Telegraph Garden at the 2009 Chelsea Flower Show and includes black timber, white masonry, natural stone, concrete, gravel, silver and lime green foliage and white, blue and purple flowering perennials. 

“Penny is an amazing designer and we feel incredibly lucky that she created our garden, and beyond that gave us an overall vision for the aesthetic of the house. Our home went from the ugly duckling of the street, to one passers-by stop and compliment. The garden is functional, original and a beautiful retreat that we enjoy raising our boys in. Penny’s professionalism, warmth, attention to detail, resourcefulness and amazing ideas also make her an absolute pleasure to work with and the reason we asked her to not only design, but also to maintain our garden, something she does beautifully and we look forward to her visits.”
