About

Jude Hobson

LANDSCAPE APPRENTICE

Jude’s passion for landscaping began during a gap year after school, where a labouring job quickly turned into an apprenticeship and a lifelong love for the craft. Skilled in both landscape construction and garden maintenance, Jude excels at problem-solving and innovation, essential for creating efficient, high-quality outdoor spaces. His dream garden is a semi-formal, modern Australian design that balances functional spaces with striking display gardens, centred around feature plants. Jude’s proudest moment was managing his first project, a significant milestone that deepened his skills and confidence. Outside of work, Jude enjoys soccer, playing guitar, travelling, and trying new hobbies.

Jude is the winner of the Landscape Associations Apprentice of the Year – Parks & Gardens for 2024.
