Some years back we designed this garden for Kelly Smith founder of SanChurro Chocolateria.

Unfortunately we had to work with the awful renders and design of the architect developing the extensions. In these photographs the garden also suffered extensive damage from an adorable but crazy dog.

Over time the garden has filled out.

So, today in Australia when people ask me about about garden design this is what I imagine : a place that 'welcomes you home' and helps you 'feel at home', a place that is comfortable and friendly....

Cheswick Consultants installed this interesting semi-edible garden with water collection,raised veggie beds and fruit trees.

Traditionally a sukkah is a temporary hut constructed for use during the week-long Jewish festival of Sukkot.  It is topped with branches and often well decorated with autumnal, harvest or Judaic themes.
