Creating an outdoor area for activities is one thing, but crafting it to complement your house and local ecology is another.

Jono Gooley and Kate Davis of Biodiverse Garden Design, a landscaping service based in Victoria, sat down with us to share their knowledge, inspiring us to reframe how we perceive the spaces surrounding our homes.

“A biodiverse approach to landscaping helps to create a relaxed atmosphere in a home,” says Jono and Kate. “Building biodiversity and restoring natural systems helps to balance environmental challenges… and also require less maintenance.”

“Landscaping is so much more than something aesthetic or nice to have,” they continue.

“Without a garden or with the wrong garden, your home is vulnerable to damage from extreme weather events, which are becoming more prevalent.”
