The Challenge

To transform an underutilised area of St Aidan’s Anglican Girls’ School in Corinda into a welcoming, functional green space. The project required considered drainage, established shade and resilient planting to create an attractive, low-maintenance landscape suited to everyday student use and the school's long-term needs.

Brooke's Blooms Solution

Working alongside Farrer Constructions, Brooke’s Blooms delivered a landscape transformation centred around an expansive open lawn and lush, layered garden beds. A comprehensive subsurface drainage system was installed to support long-term landscape health, while mature ex-ground trees were craned into position to provide immediate shade and structure. Thoughtful planting introduced softness, colour and depth, supported by ongoing grounds maintenance, lawn care, irrigation monitoring and horticultural attention.

The Result

A vibrant, established landscape that brings new life to the school grounds. The generous lawn provides space for students to gather, play and unwind, while mature trees and layered planting create a welcoming, green environment designed for long-term enjoyment and care.
