Also known as the Foxtail Fern for its long, arching, curly foliage, Asparagus densiflorus is native to South Africa and is now widely cultivated around the world. Despite its common name, the Asparagus Fern is not a true fern but belongs to the asparagus family.<\\/p>\\n
This evergreen perennial features soft, feathery, light-green foliage growing along gently curving stems, creating a graceful, architectural appearance. In spring and summer, it produces small delicate flowers that are often overlooked due to their subtle nature.<\\/p>\\n\",\"blocks\":[{\"acf_fc_layout\":\"image\",\"image\":{\"ID\":1155,\"id\":1155,\"title\":\"41-Mathoura-15\",\"filename\":\"41-Mathoura-15.jpg\",\"filesize\":1651055,\"url\":\"https:\\/\\/botanichorticu.wpenginepowered.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2026\\/05\\/41-Mathoura-15.jpg\",\"link\":\"https:\\/\\/botanichorticu.wpenginepowered.com\\/articles\\/asparagus-densiflorus\\/41-mathoura-15\\/\",\"alt\":\"\",\"author\":\"6\",\"description\":\"\",\"caption\":\"\",\"name\":\"41-mathoura-15\",\"status\":\"inherit\",\"uploaded_to\":1153,\"date\":\"2026-05-11 10:56:17\",\"modified\":\"2026-05-11 10:56:17\",\"menu_order\":0,\"mime_type\":\"image\\/jpeg\",\"type\":\"image\",\"subtype\":\"jpeg\",\"icon\":\"https:\\/\\/botanichorticu.wpenginepowered.com\\/wp-includes\\/images\\/media\\/default.png\",\"width\":1000,\"height\":1500,\"sizes\":{\"thumbnail\":\"https:\\/\\/botanichorticu.wpenginepowered.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2026\\/05\\/41-Mathoura-15-150x150.jpg\",\"thumbnail-width\":150,\"thumbnail-height\":150,\"medium\":\"https:\\/\\/botanichorticu.wpenginepowered.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2026\\/05\\/41-Mathoura-15-200x300.jpg\",\"medium-width\":200,\"medium-height\":300,\"medium_large\":\"https:\\/\\/botanichorticu.wpenginepowered.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2026\\/05\\/41-Mathoura-15-768x1152.jpg\",\"medium_large-width\":768,\"medium_large-height\":1152,\"large\":\"https:\\/\\/botanichorticu.wpenginepowered.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2026\\/05\\/41-Mathoura-15-800x1200.jpg\",\"large-width\":800,\"large-height\":1200,\"1536x1536\":\"https:\\/\\/botanichorticu.wpenginepowered.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2026\\/05\\/41-Mathoura-15.jpg\",\"1536x1536-width\":1000,\"1536x1536-height\":1500,\"2048x2048\":\"https:\\/\\/botanichorticu.wpenginepowered.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2026\\/05\\/41-Mathoura-15.jpg\",\"2048x2048-width\":1000,\"2048x2048-height\":1500,\"full_width\":\"https:\\/\\/botanichorticu.wpenginepowered.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2026\\/05\\/41-Mathoura-15.jpg\",\"full_width-width\":1000,\"full_width-height\":1500,\"medium2\":\"https:\\/\\/botanichorticu.wpenginepowered.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2026\\/05\\/41-Mathoura-15.jpg\",\"medium2-width\":1000,\"medium2-height\":1500}},\"use_caption\":false,\"caption\":\"\"},{\"acf_fc_layout\":\"text\",\"content\":\"

Botanic Horticulture understands that outdoor spaces need thoughtful, well-executed softscaping to bring them to life.<\\/p>\\n Whether you’re seeking a change in the look and feel of your garden, correcting issues from a poorly executed planting scheme, or starting with a blank canvas, our experienced team can help you bring splendour and vitality into your landscape.<\\/p>\\n Softscaping includes all the living elements of your garden: trees, shrubs, ground covers, turf, seasonal plantings, and soil improvements. It’s the finishing layer that provides colour, texture, and seasonal interest. Often, our horticulturists are called upon for:<\\/p>\\n Aesthetic updates:<\\/strong> You may want to modernise your garden or bring more cohesion to a tired space.<\\/p>\\n Poor planting results:<\\/strong> Sometimes previous plant choices don’t thrive, are competing for nutrients as the garden grows, or require more maintenance than expected.<\\/p>\\n Mismatch between design and delivery:<\\/strong> We’ve seen projects where landscapers veer away from the original vision, leaving designers and clients disappointed.<\\/p>\\n Softscape-only support:<\\/strong> If you\\u2019ve already got your hard landscaping complete, we can step in to install or refresh the planting and finishing touches.<\\/p>\\n <\\/p>\\n Working in Partnership with Designers<\\/strong><\\/p>\\n At Botanic, we pride ourselves on working collaboratively with landscape designers, ensuring their vision is fully realised. Softscaping can make or break a design, so we take great care to understand and honour every planting plan and design intent, whether we\\u2019re simply implementing or adapting on the fly.<\\/p>\\n\",\"blocks\":[{\"acf_fc_layout\":\"text\",\"content\":\" Precision Planting in Essendon<\\/strong><\\/p>\\n A recent project in Essendon saw us brought in to install the softscaping for a detailed designer garden. The hard landscaping had been completed by another contractor, and the designer had a clear vision for a contemporary, layered planting palette with strong seasonal interest and structure.<\\/p>\\n Our role was to interpret the designer\\u2019s detailed planting plans, source high-quality, mature stock that matched the brief, prepare the soil to suit the plant selection and ensure long-term health, and plant with precision to preserve spacing, sightlines, and form.<\\/p>\\n The result was a seamless transition from hardscape to lush, considered planting exactly as the designer had imagined.<\\/p>\\n\"},{\"acf_fc_layout\":\"image\",\"image\":{\"ID\":996,\"id\":996,\"title\":\"Before

A charming Nathan Burkett heritage garden – with a surprisingly modern twist.<\\/p>\\n\",\"introduction\":\" Kassia House is truly where old world meets modern contemporary. This Queen Anne Federation bungalow in Malvern East has been transformed, though you wouldn’t know it from the front. The owners enlisted architects Robson Rak to design an addition at the back that is unapologetically modern. The renovation included a complete redesign of the outdoor spaces by Nathan Burkett Landscape Architecture (NBLA).<\\/p>\\n\",\"blocks\":[{\"acf_fc_layout\":\"text\",\"content\":\" The result is a front garden echoing the heritage feel of the bungalow and a surprisingly modern outdoor space behind the Ficus at the rear. NBLA retained some of the feature trees to make the front garden appear as if it’s always been there. However, a new network of meandering paths and clusters of perennial underplanting have given the entry a charming redefinition. Flowering species such as Anemones, Salvia, and Hydrangeas introduce seasonal colour, while Stachys and Viola provide good ground cover. Botanic Horticulture brings a touch of elegance to this space with its Buxus topiary and cloud pruning of the Camellia.<\\/p>\\n\"},{\"acf_fc_layout\":\"image\",\"image\":{\"ID\":913,\"id\":913,\"title\":\"13-Kingston-5\",\"filename\":\"13-Kingston-5.jpg\",\"filesize\":1674748,\"url\":\"https:\\/\\/botanichorticu.wpenginepowered.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2024\\/09\\/13-Kingston-5.jpg\",\"link\":\"https:\\/\\/botanichorticu.wpenginepowered.com\\/articles\\/kew-garden\\/13-kingston-5\\/\",\"alt\":\"\",\"author\":\"6\",\"description\":\"\",\"caption\":\"\",\"name\":\"13-kingston-5\",\"status\":\"inherit\",\"uploaded_to\":910,\"date\":\"2024-09-18 05:09:22\",\"modified\":\"2024-09-18 05:09:22\",\"menu_order\":0,\"mime_type\":\"image\\/jpeg\",\"type\":\"image\",\"subtype\":\"jpeg\",\"icon\":\"https:\\/\\/botanichorticu.wpenginepowered.com\\/wp-includes\\/images\\/media\\/default.png\",\"width\":1000,\"height\":1500,\"sizes\":{\"thumbnail\":\"https:\\/\\/botanichorticu.wpenginepowered.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2024\\/09\\/13-Kingston-5-150x150.jpg\",\"thumbnail-width\":150,\"thumbnail-height\":150,\"medium\":\"https:\\/\\/botanichorticu.wpenginepowered.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2024\\/09\\/13-Kingston-5-200x300.jpg\",\"medium-width\":200,\"medium-height\":300,\"medium_large\":\"https:\\/\\/botanichorticu.wpenginepowered.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2024\\/09\\/13-Kingston-5-768x1152.jpg\",\"medium_large-width\":768,\"medium_large-height\":1152,\"large\":\"https:\\/\\/botanichorticu.wpenginepowered.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2024\\/09\\/13-Kingston-5-800x1200.jpg\",\"large-width\":800,\"large-height\":1200,\"1536x1536\":\"https:\\/\\/botanichorticu.wpenginepowered.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2024\\/09\\/13-Kingston-5.jpg\",\"1536x1536-width\":1000,\"1536x1536-height\":1500,\"2048x2048\":\"https:\\/\\/botanichorticu.wpenginepowered.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2024\\/09\\/13-Kingston-5.jpg\",\"2048x2048-width\":1000,\"2048x2048-height\":1500,\"full_width\":\"https:\\/\\/botanichorticu.wpenginepowered.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2024\\/09\\/13-Kingston-5.jpg\",\"full_width-width\":1000,\"full_width-height\":1500,\"medium2\":\"https:\\/\\/botanichorticu.wpenginepowered.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2024\\/09\\/13-Kingston-5.jpg\",\"medium2-width\":1000,\"medium2-height\":1500}},\"use_caption\":false,\"caption\":\"\"},{\"acf_fc_layout\":\"image\",\"image\":{\"ID\":912,\"id\":912,\"title\":\"13-Kingston-4\",\"filename\":\"13-Kingston-4.jpg\",\"filesize\":1210379,\"url\":\"https:\\/\\/botanichorticu.wpenginepowered.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2024\\/09\\/13-Kingston-4.jpg\",\"link\":\"https:\\/\\/botanichorticu.wpenginepowered.com\\/articles\\/kew-garden\\/13-kingston-4\\/\",\"alt\":\"\",\"author\":\"6\",\"description\":\"\",\"caption\":\"\",\"name\":\"13-kingston-4\",\"status\":\"inherit\",\"uploaded_to\":910,\"date\":\"2024-09-18 05:09:07\",\"modified\":\"2024-09-18 05:09:07\",\"menu_order\":0,\"mime_type\":\"image\\/jpeg\",\"type\":\"image\",\"subtype\":\"jpeg\",\"icon\":\"https:\\/\\/botanichorticu.wpenginepowered.com\\/wp-includes\\/images\\/media\\/default.png\",\"width\":1000,\"height\":1500,\"sizes\":{\"thumbnail\":\"https:\\/\\/botanichorticu.wpenginepowered.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2024\\/09\\/13-Kingston-4-150x150.jpg\",\"thumbnail-width\":150,\"thumbnail-height\":150,\"medium\":\"https:\\/\\/botanichorticu.wpenginepowered.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2024\\/09\\/13-Kingston-4-200x300.jpg\",\"medium-width\":200,\"medium-height\":300,\"medium_large\":\"https:\\/\\/botanichorticu.wpenginepowered.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2024\\/09\\/13-Kingston-4-768x1152.jpg\",\"medium_large-width\":768,\"medium_large-height\":1152,\"large\":\"https:\\/\\/botanichorticu.wpenginepowered.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2024\\/09\\/13-Kingston-4-800x1200.jpg\",\"large-width\":800,\"large-height\":1200,\"1536x1536\":\"https:\\/\\/botanichorticu.wpenginepowered.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2024\\/09\\/13-Kingston-4.jpg\",\"1536x1536-width\":1000,\"1536x1536-height\":1500,\"2048x2048\":\"https:\\/\\/botanichorticu.wpenginepowered.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2024\\/09\\/13-Kingston-4.jpg\",\"2048x2048-width\":1000,\"2048x2048-height\":1500,\"full_width\":\"https:\\/\\/botanichorticu.wpenginepowered.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2024\\/09\\/13-Kingston-4.jpg\",\"full_width-width\":1000,\"full_width-height\":1500,\"medium2\":\"https:\\/\\/botanichorticu.wpenginepowered.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2024\\/09\\/13-Kingston-4.jpg\",\"medium2-width\":1000,\"medium2-height\":1500}},\"use_caption\":false,\"caption\":\"\"},{\"acf_fc_layout\":\"text\",\"content\":\" Walk through the side gate and behind the hedge a beautifully designed entertaining space awaits.

Our plants are no different \\u2014 they too feel the cold.<\\/p>\\n Winter is an excellent time to mulch, as tasks that involve walking in garden beds, such as hedge trimming and leaf cleanup, should already be completed. Additionally, mulching now allows time for organic matter to break down before the spring growth season when plants will need extra nutrients.<\\/p>\\n\",\"blocks\":[{\"acf_fc_layout\":\"text\",\"content\":\" Why mulch a garden?<\\/strong><\\/p>\\n Mulching offers many benefits beyond enhancing a garden\\u2019s aesthetics and suppressing weeds.<\\/p>\\n \\u00a0<\\/strong><\\/p>\\n Which mulch is best?<\\/strong><\\/p>\\n The efficacy of mulch depends on the quality and size of the material used. Generally, finer mulch breaks down faster and improves the soil, while larger mulch is more effective at suppressing weeds and conserving moisture. The choice will depend on the current condition of your soil, the scale of the garden beds and consideration of the overall aesthetic of the garden.<\\/p>\\n Here are some mulch varieties preferred by Botanic Horticulture:<\\/p>\\n Organic Compost<\\/strong><\\/p>\\n Organic Mulch<\\/strong><\\/p>\\n Medium Grade Eucalyptus Mulch<\\/strong><\\/p>\\n Pine Bark Mulch<\\/strong><\\/p>\\n Inorganic Mulches <\\/strong><\\/p>\\n There are other less desirable mulch varieties, such as tree clippings, soft fall (used in playgrounds), sugarcane (good for vegetable gardens but messy), and dyed black or red mulch\\u2014ahh, no thank you.<\\/p>\\n As with most things, price is indicative of quality, and it’s better to use a premium product than risk waste contamination and high pH levels. Cheap mulch can contain glass, plastic and other waste products that don\\u2019t break down, and mulch with a pH level that is either too high or too low can have disastrous ramifications.<\\/p>\\n If your garden is ready for a fresh blanket of mulch, our horticulturists can recommend the best option and calculate the correct amount for appropriate coverage. Botanic can also deliver to your site, avoiding the additional mess of driveway dumping.<\\/p>\\n\"}],\"seo\":{\"defaults\":{\"titles\":{\"forcerewritetitle\":false,\"separator\":\"sc-dash\",\"title-home-wpseo\":\"%%sitename%% %%page%% %%sep%%

Just a quick prune of the spent flowers will prevent seeding and help maintain a healthy growth habit.

Our freedoms have been restricted and our resolve tested. But we\\u2019re a resilient bunch. We look for the positives in times of crisis. That\\u2019s how the team at Botanic are approaching it.<\\/p>\\n For the past month our gardeners have been diligently\\u00a0working on your garden programs and revising our systems in preparation for the other side of lockdown, so we’re ready, organised and equipped to have your gardens in their best shape for you to enjoy longer, warmer days entertaining friends and enjoying returned liberties.<\\/p>\\n <\\/p>\\n 5 Important Spring Gardening Tasks<\\/strong><\\/p>\\n As gardeners, we can\\u2019t help getting a little excited about spring. Everything is buzzing and sprouting and flourishing. But there\\u2019s also a lot to do to take advantage of these active months to get your garden looking its best.<\\/p>\\n <\\/p>\\n Maintaining Lawns<\\/p>\\n Come spring, lawns (and their weeds) tend to grow quickly. At this time, we like to schedule extra mowing and weed spraying runs to ensure we return your lawns to their ideal height without compromising their health. Mowing a tall lawn back to ideal height is delicate \\u2013 too soon and too fast can present issues. We may also need to top dress lawns with new soil and re-seed patchy areas to stimulate regrowth and healthy texture.<\\/p>\\n <\\/p>\\n Fertilising<\\/p>\\n As gardens grow and flower, they get hungry. By fertilising your garden beds and pot plants, we give them the nourishment they need to thrive and remain healthy. Some plants and vegetation need that extra bit of fertilising such as fruits, vegetables, roses, gardenias and hibiscus.<\\/p>\\n <\\/p>\\n Pruning and Trimming<\\/p>\\n By pruning and trimming your plants and hedges, we make way for growth while encouraging flowering, foliage, and greater vibrancy. We cut out dead, deceased or dying stems and create shape and form for your garden.<\\/p>\\n <\\/p>\\n Planting<\\/p>\\n Spring is the best time for us to plant new flowers, shrubs and trees to breathe fresh life into your garden and take advantage of spring\\u2019s healthy growing climate before the hotter months kick in.<\\/p>\\n <\\/p>\\n Irrigation<\\/p>\\n We take this time to check your irrigation system, adding any new lines that are needed and ensuring your garden gets the water it craves during these thirsty growing months through to summer.<\\/p>\\n\",\"blocks\":[{\"acf_fc_layout\":\"image\",\"image\":{\"ID\":812,\"id\":812,\"title\":\"BOTANIC-HAWTHORN-016\",\"filename\":\"BOTANIC-HAWTHORN-016.jpg\",\"filesize\":1753279,\"url\":\"https:\\/\\/botanichorticu.wpenginepowered.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2020\\/09\\/BOTANIC-HAWTHORN-016.jpg\",\"link\":\"https:\\/\\/botanichorticu.wpenginepowered.com\\/articles\\/lockdown-is-on-its-last-gasp-but-spring-is-only-just-taking-its-first\\/botanic-hawthorn-016-2\\/\",\"alt\":\"\",\"author\":\"4\",\"description\":\"\",\"caption\":\"\",\"name\":\"botanic-hawthorn-016-2\",\"status\":\"inherit\",\"uploaded_to\":810,\"date\":\"2020-09-08 05:24:47\",\"modified\":\"2020-09-08 05:24:47\",\"menu_order\":0,\"mime_type\":\"image\\/jpeg\",\"type\":\"image\",\"subtype\":\"jpeg\",\"icon\":\"https:\\/\\/botanichorticu.wpenginepowered.com\\/wp-includes\\/images\\/media\\/default.png\",\"width\":1500,\"height\":1000,\"sizes\":{\"thumbnail\":\"https:\\/\\/botanichorticu.wpenginepowered.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2020\\/09\\/BOTANIC-HAWTHORN-016-150x150.jpg\",\"thumbnail-width\":150,\"thumbnail-height\":150,\"medium\":\"https:\\/\\/botanichorticu.wpenginepowered.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2020\\/09\\/BOTANIC-HAWTHORN-016-300x200.jpg\",\"medium-width\":300,\"medium-height\":200,\"medium_large\":\"https:\\/\\/botanichorticu.wpenginepowered.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2020\\/09\\/BOTANIC-HAWTHORN-016-768x512.jpg\",\"medium_large-width\":768,\"medium_large-height\":512,\"large\":\"https:\\/\\/botanichorticu.wpenginepowered.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2020\\/09\\/BOTANIC-HAWTHORN-016-1200x800.jpg\",\"large-width\":1200,\"large-height\":800,\"1536x1536\":\"https:\\/\\/botanichorticu.wpenginepowered.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2020\\/09\\/BOTANIC-HAWTHORN-016.jpg\",\"1536x1536-width\":1500,\"1536x1536-height\":1000,\"2048x2048\":\"https:\\/\\/botanichorticu.wpenginepowered.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2020\\/09\\/BOTANIC-HAWTHORN-016.jpg\",\"2048x2048-width\":1500,\"2048x2048-height\":1000,\"full_width\":\"https:\\/\\/botanichorticu.wpenginepowered.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2020\\/09\\/BOTANIC-HAWTHORN-016.jpg\",\"full_width-width\":1500,\"full_width-height\":1000,\"medium2\":\"https:\\/\\/botanichorticu.wpenginepowered.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2020\\/09\\/BOTANIC-HAWTHORN-016.jpg\",\"medium2-width\":1500,\"medium2-height\":1000}},\"use_caption\":false,\"caption\":\"\"},{\"acf_fc_layout\":\"text\",\"content\":\" A few of our favourite things\\u2026<\\/strong><\\/p>\\n With spring being the best time of year to plant,\\u00a0here are a few of our favourites that will add colour and vibrancy to your garden:<\\/p>\\n Malus ioensis ‘Plena’ – Crab Apple<\\/strong><\\/p>\\n This beautiful, hardy crab apple tree produces masses of double-pink spring blossoms that will waft a sweet perfume around your garden.<\\/p>\\n Clivia’s<\\/strong><\\/p>\\n Are perfect to fill that tricky, shady spot under trees or in pots.

It\\u2019s become an art in the way landscape designers use it. Twenty years ago, the trend leaned towards formal, predictable patterns, now people often want a more disrupted form of pruning.

It\\u2019s one of the skills that separates a high-end garden maintenance company like Botanic to a standard service.

You get to develop a deep understanding for which plants and flowers work well in specific applications and in combination with other varieties to achieve striking affects.<\\/p>\\n Here are some of my favourites.<\\/p>\\n \\u201cLilly Pillys can be mixed in all their varieties and colours creating rich, textured hedging.\\u201d<\\/i><\\/b><\\/p>\\n Lilly Pillys have a spectacular thick foliage and glossy sheen that makes them ideal for hedging. They can be mixed in all their varieties and colours creating a rich, textured affect – or as a standout ornamental feature.<\\/p>\\n Waterhousia Floribunda, known as \\u2018Weeping Lilly Pilly\\u2019, is a particular favourite of mine. It offers a softer aesthetic than your average Lilly Pilly, with trusses of white fluffy flowers in summer followed by pale pink to pale green fruit.\\u00a0 Waterhousia doesn\\u2019t need to be clipped too tightly because of its natural weeping nature.<\\/p>\\n \\u201cConifers look fantastic within both formal and informal gardens.\\u201d<\\/i><\\/b><\\/p>\\n Conifers offer incredible diversity because they can be pruned to complement a particular design. Depending on how they are clipped, they look fantastic in both formal and informal gardens; a tighter clip for a formal look or a relaxed clip for a more natural aesthetic. They\\u2019re also ideal as hedging around swimming pools because they don\\u2019t drop leaves.<\\/p>\\n \\u201cThe art with succulents is to find the balance within the garden bed so they pop out to become a defining feature.\\u201d<\\/i><\\/b><\\/p>\\n In all their different colours and textures, succulents are easy to propagate by snapping off the branches and replanting them, extending the planting.<\\/p>\\n The art with succulents is to find the balance within the garden bed so they pop out and become a defining feature. Getting the right balance ensures one species doesn\\u2019t override the other, rather they all work together to create harmony and division. All you have to do is stand back and look at the wave of succulents that sweep through a well-designed garden bed to see how striking they can look.<\\/p>\\n \\u201cNothing beats watching the leaves of a maple tree change colour through the seasons.\\u201d<\\/i><\\/b><\\/p>\\n Trees have so many benefits within a garden. They play a vital role in eco-systems, in the planet\\u2019s atmosphere, in our water systems and weather patterns. They also provide form, structure and feature within a garden design.<\\/p>\\n One of my favourite trees, is the deciduous maple. Nothing beats watching the leaves of a maple tree change colour through the seasons.<\\/p>\\n Forest pansy is another favourite. It has this gorgeous vivid pink flower in spring and sits as a small to medium size tree within your garden without over dominating. Forest pansies look particularly striking when planted amongst taller trees and lower planting.<\\/p>\\n\",\"use_hover_video\":false,\"seo\":{\"defaults\":{\"titles\":{\"forcerewritetitle\":false,\"separator\":\"sc-dash\",\"title-home-wpseo\":\"%%sitename%% %%page%% %%sep%%

Watering plants from overhead, for instance, isn\\u2019t ideal for all <\\/i>plants because the foliage of the plant gets soaked, preventing the plant from breathing and creating problems with fungi.<\\/p>\\n\"},{\"acf_fc_layout\":\"image\",\"image\":{\"ID\":801,\"id\":801,\"title\":\"BOTANIC-HAWTHORN-022\",\"filename\":\"BOTANIC-HAWTHORN-022.jpg\",\"filesize\":2110155,\"url\":\"https:\\/\\/botanichorticu.wpenginepowered.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2020\\/06\\/BOTANIC-HAWTHORN-022.jpg\",\"link\":\"https:\\/\\/botanichorticu.wpenginepowered.com\\/articles\\/the-importance-of-irrigation-for-a-thriving-garden\\/botanic-hawthorn-022\\/\",\"alt\":\"\",\"author\":\"2\",\"description\":\"\",\"caption\":\"\",\"name\":\"botanic-hawthorn-022\",\"status\":\"inherit\",\"uploaded_to\":607,\"date\":\"2020-06-15 03:52:06\",\"modified\":\"2020-06-15 03:58:51\",\"menu_order\":0,\"mime_type\":\"image\\/jpeg\",\"type\":\"image\",\"subtype\":\"jpeg\",\"icon\":\"https:\\/\\/botanichorticu.wpenginepowered.com\\/wp-includes\\/images\\/media\\/default.png\",\"width\":2200,\"height\":1466,\"sizes\":{\"thumbnail\":\"https:\\/\\/botanichorticu.wpenginepowered.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2020\\/06\\/BOTANIC-HAWTHORN-022-150x150.jpg\",\"thumbnail-width\":150,\"thumbnail-height\":150,\"medium\":\"https:\\/\\/botanichorticu.wpenginepowered.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2020\\/06\\/BOTANIC-HAWTHORN-022-300x200.jpg\",\"medium-width\":300,\"medium-height\":200,\"medium_large\":\"https:\\/\\/botanichorticu.wpenginepowered.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2020\\/06\\/BOTANIC-HAWTHORN-022-768x512.jpg\",\"medium_large-width\":768,\"medium_large-height\":512,\"large\":\"https:\\/\\/botanichorticu.wpenginepowered.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2020\\/06\\/BOTANIC-HAWTHORN-022-1200x800.jpg\",\"large-width\":1200,\"large-height\":800,\"1536x1536\":\"https:\\/\\/botanichorticu.wpenginepowered.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2020\\/06\\/BOTANIC-HAWTHORN-022-1536x1024.jpg\",\"1536x1536-width\":1536,\"1536x1536-height\":1024,\"2048x2048\":\"https:\\/\\/botanichorticu.wpenginepowered.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2020\\/06\\/BOTANIC-HAWTHORN-022-2048x1365.jpg\",\"2048x2048-width\":2048,\"2048x2048-height\":1365,\"full_width\":\"https:\\/\\/botanichorticu.wpenginepowered.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2020\\/06\\/BOTANIC-HAWTHORN-022.jpg\",\"full_width-width\":2200,\"full_width-height\":1466,\"medium2\":\"https:\\/\\/botanichorticu.wpenginepowered.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2020\\/06\\/BOTANIC-HAWTHORN-022-1600x1066.jpg\",\"medium2-width\":1600,\"medium2-height\":1066}},\"use_caption\":false,\"caption\":\"\"},{\"acf_fc_layout\":\"heading\",\"content\":\"Blue-tooth and wi-fi technology allows better control\"},{\"acf_fc_layout\":\"text\",\"content\":\" New and emerging technologies have opened a world of convenience, enabling irrigation systems to be managed remotely.

Nathan is a qualified Landscape Architect with over two decades\\u2019 experience.<\\/p>\\n Here, Nathan shares his love for landscape design and why genuinely great gardens require a smart approach to garden maintenance.<\\/p>\\n\",\"blocks\":[{\"acf_fc_layout\":\"text\",\"content\":\" Hi Nathan, firstly tell us how NBLA tend to get involved with a project.<\\/b><\\/p>\\n Typically, the earlier we can get involved with a project, the better. This is especially relevant if clients are having their property renovated or designed from scratch by a landscape architect, because we can make recommendations that complement the architectural and interior design of a property.<\\/p>\\n Firstly, we meet with a new client and discuss the outcomes they\\u2019d like to achieve from their garden or outdoor space. We explore the landscape and architectural opportunities presented by the site and identify the practical elements for our clients; do they have children? Do they like to entertain outdoors? Do they want to incorporate a swimming pool \\/ outdoor kitchen \\/ grill etc.<\\/p>\\n Using this information, we start to prepare an initial design concept.<\\/p>\\n Why Design and Maintenance go hand-in-hand<\\/b><\\/p>\\n When we create a design, the longevity of a garden consumes a large part of our thought process. We have to consider how a design will evolve over time, because gardens tend to look very different once they are fully established.<\\/p>\\n Low maintenance gardens are an extremely common request. Unfortunately, there\\u2019s no such thing as \\u2018no maintenance\\u2019 because plants are living, evolving organisms. But there are things we can do to make a garden easier to maintain such as the selection, allocation and care of plants etc.<\\/p>\\n We always try to consider the financial burden garden maintenance can put on a client over time and design in a smart way balancing spaces and plants to achieve the look we want, while minimising the level of care.<\\/p>\\n There are also practical considerations; if trees grow too close to pool fencing, for example, they can make the swimming pool barrier non-compliant. We use plants appropriate to their application and consider their long-term maintenance needs, such as which trees need to be pruned a certain way to achieve a specific effect five-ten years down the track.<\\/p>\\n\"},{\"acf_fc_layout\":\"image\",\"image\":{\"ID\":802,\"id\":802,\"title\":\"DROMANA-17-2200\",\"filename\":\"DROMANA-17-2200.jpg\",\"filesize\":2295074,\"url\":\"https:\\/\\/botanichorticu.wpenginepowered.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2020\\/03\\/DROMANA-17-2200.jpg\",\"link\":\"https:\\/\\/botanichorticu.wpenginepowered.com\\/articles\\/why-garden-design-and-garden-maintenance-go-hand-in-hand\\/dromana-17-2200\\/\",\"alt\":\"\",\"author\":\"2\",\"description\":\"\",\"caption\":\"\",\"name\":\"dromana-17-2200\",\"status\":\"inherit\",\"uploaded_to\":605,\"date\":\"2020-06-15 04:05:29\",\"modified\":\"2020-06-15 04:05:29\",\"menu_order\":0,\"mime_type\":\"image\\/jpeg\",\"type\":\"image\",\"subtype\":\"jpeg\",\"icon\":\"https:\\/\\/botanichorticu.wpenginepowered.com\\/wp-includes\\/images\\/media\\/default.png\",\"width\":2200,\"height\":1650,\"sizes\":{\"thumbnail\":\"https:\\/\\/botanichorticu.wpenginepowered.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2020\\/03\\/DROMANA-17-2200-150x150.jpg\",\"thumbnail-width\":150,\"thumbnail-height\":150,\"medium\":\"https:\\/\\/botanichorticu.wpenginepowered.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2020\\/03\\/DROMANA-17-2200-300x225.jpg\",\"medium-width\":300,\"medium-height\":225,\"medium_large\":\"https:\\/\\/botanichorticu.wpenginepowered.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2020\\/03\\/DROMANA-17-2200-768x576.jpg\",\"medium_large-width\":768,\"medium_large-height\":576,\"large\":\"https:\\/\\/botanichorticu.wpenginepowered.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2020\\/03\\/DROMANA-17-2200-1200x900.jpg\",\"large-width\":1200,\"large-height\":900,\"1536x1536\":\"https:\\/\\/botanichorticu.wpenginepowered.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2020\\/03\\/DROMANA-17-2200-1536x1152.jpg\",\"1536x1536-width\":1536,\"1536x1536-height\":1152,\"2048x2048\":\"https:\\/\\/botanichorticu.wpenginepowered.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2020\\/03\\/DROMANA-17-2200-2048x1536.jpg\",\"2048x2048-width\":2048,\"2048x2048-height\":1536,\"full_width\":\"https:\\/\\/botanichorticu.wpenginepowered.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2020\\/03\\/DROMANA-17-2200.jpg\",\"full_width-width\":2200,\"full_width-height\":1650,\"medium2\":\"https:\\/\\/botanichorticu.wpenginepowered.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2020\\/03\\/DROMANA-17-2200-1600x1200.jpg\",\"medium2-width\":1600,\"medium2-height\":1200}},\"use_caption\":false,\"caption\":\"\"},{\"acf_fc_layout\":\"text\",\"content\":\" Why do you love working with Botanic Horticulture?<\\/b><\\/p>\\n They offer a level of service that reflects well on our business.

They show up sporadically when it suits them, and clients don\\u2019t know when to expect them. Garden Maintenance requires a strategic approach and Botanic do this really well. They offer a tailored maintenance plan that takes both client and garden needs into account. And because they have a reasonably large team, our gardens are never under-serviced. Together, we create a plan and Botanic execute that plan on a systematic basis.<\\/p>\\n They also allocate the same team to each garden, so clients have the one point of call. That team get to know the garden and the client\\u2019s wishes. They become passionate about it. When it comes to gardening, achieving results can be a slow process, so you need long-term commitment by the same gardeners.<\\/p>\\n Lastly, Botanic have an excellent administrative department with strong office support who attend to us quickly and positively, every time. It\\u2019s a win-win all round.<\\/p>\\n\"},{\"acf_fc_layout\":\"heading\",\"content\":\"Would you like to talk to our experienced team about your garden needs?
