The Plan

Featuring dwarf kōwhai, Miscanthus, Pittosporum, Federation daisies, lamb’s ears, and Ligularia reniformis, this bee and bird-attracting garden creates a vibrant, inviting sanctuary for both people and pollinators.

The Plant Palette

Located in the heart of Takapuna, this bee & bird attracting front garden was designed to offer a lush, textural outlook from the home and a peaceful space to relax on warm summer evenings. A biodiverse planting palette includes pops of yellow and orange to attract pollinators and songbirds, enhancing the garden’s sensory appeal and liveliness.
