To create a calm urban garden in Bulimba that blended modern architecture with the rugged beauty of a Mediterranean-inspired arid landscape. The space needed to feel luxurious, resilient and low-maintenance while softening the home’s contemporary built form.
Brooke’s Blooms created an arid garden using sculptural cacti, textured foliage, an Olive tree, honed concrete seating and Corten edging. Ground cover Zoysia tenuifolia adds softness and depth, while the planting palette supports a lower-water, lower-maintenance approach suited to a modern Brisbane lifestyle.
A tranquil Mediterranean-inspired garden that feels both architectural and calming. The finished space creates a private urban oasis, balancing strong built materials with resilient planting, soft texture and a clear sense of retreat.
