The bespoke design services options include:

  • Offering you expertise in designing productive and supremely ‘useable’ and immersive gardens. Nicole’s gardens offer balance, understanding the practical needs of home life with the wellbeing a nature focussed, beautiful home space brings.

    What’s Included:

    • Personalised Garden Design Consultation: Together, we’ll discuss how to create a garden that supports your home life, is practical for regular use, and fuels your craft. From functional pathways to storage for your floral tools, we’ll make sure your space works for both practice and pleasure.

    • Plant Selection & Layout: I’ll assist you in choosing flowers, herbs, and foliage that suit both the aesthetics of your garden. We’ll consider factors like longevity, ease of maintenance, and seasonal availability, ensuring that your garden provides both beauty and utility.

    • Sustainable Gardening Practices: Learn how to integrate sustainable, low-waste techniques into your garden plan. We’ll focus on methods that conserve resources, enrich soil health, and reduce the environmental impact while creating a continuous source of fresh, homegrown joy.

    • Practical Guidance for Harvesting & Maintenance: Receive clear advice on when and how to harvest your garden for the best vase life, or suited to your practice, and how to care for your garden to ensure it thrives throughout the year. We’ll also explore how to maintain a harmonious balance between flowers, foliage, and practical elements of the garden.

    Creating a garden as part of your broader home life isn't just about cultivating a product—it's about crafting a balanced space that supports both your lifestyle and your artistic vision.

  • We understand that construction may be a little out of your work area! This is why we offer an additional service where we can oversee the installation of your project, working with your chosen installer. We can source materials, lighting and plant material and assist with plant placement (the best bit!). This ensures that our shared vision is realised using best practices and materials. This service is charged at an hourly rate or percentage of the installation price. 

  • Initial Garden Consultation - 297NZD incl GST (this charge will be deducted from additional booking charges should you choose to proceed with a design plan)
