Curtin
A Verdant Welcome in Curtin
Located in Curtin, this garden was designed to complement the client’s newly built home with lush greenery and functional outdoor spaces. The client’s vision was for an elegant yet productive garden, with an interesting entryway featuring espaliered citrus to add character from the outset. Despite some project delays during the home build and limited access, Manuka Gardens delivered a vibrant landscape that integrates productive planting with aesthetic appeal, creating a harmonious extension of the home.
The front entry path sets a welcoming tone with an espaliered citrus feature, adding both structure and visual interest to the entrance. Concreting stepper pads lead up to the entryway, guiding visitors through a beautifully framed path that highlights the garden’s organic elegance. The citrus provides a touch of productivity and greenery, establishing a distinctive entry that enhances the home’s facade.
Alongside the home’s lighter walls, garden beds and climbing plants create a contrasting display of texture and colour. The selection of climbing plants was chosen to softly frame the structure, introducing layers of green that provide depth and a natural focal point. This thoughtful arrangement enhances the architecture, blending the home with the garden to achieve a seamless flow.
Throughout the landscape, feature plants were strategically placed to add moments of interest and highlight the garden’s unique aesthetic. Each plant was chosen for its ability to contribute shape, texture, and a pop of colour to the garden, creating a harmonious blend that feels both structured and naturally flowing.
In the rear, a productive garden area was established with edible plantings that provide beauty and utility. This area includes a water feature and accessible utility spaces, allowing the clients to enjoy both functionality and relaxation in their garden.
