This stunning 10yearold garden beautifully blends Australian native plants with a formal garden aesthetic, creating a harmonious connection to its bushland surrounds. If you’re looking for garden design ideas or inspiration for gardening in Australia, this space offers a perfect mix of formal elements, like clipped hedges, a curved garden arbour and structured garden beds, with naturalistic native plantings that reflect the surrounding landscape.

In today’s tour, we’ll explore a calm, established backyard in Warrandyte, featuring everything from striking Gymea lilies and a beautiful curved arbour to a fire pit area and an entertainer’s lawn. The garden’s thoughtful design incorporates a crushed rock path that links the front cottage garden with the nativefilled backyard, showcasing hardy Australian natives like correas, acacias, and lomandras. Plus, you’ll see how exotics like crab apples and Crepe Myrtles add seasonal colour and interest in more formal garden beds.

This peaceful retreat, built by Semken Landscaping and Vivid Design, is a masterclass in blending formal structure with Australian native plants.
