Our story

Anne was born and raised in Brisbane by veteran garden designer and horticulturalist, Helen Henningham. Gardening has always been a big part of her life, and she absorbed much of her knowledge from her mother's influence. After completing a degree in Business and becoming a teacher, Anne continued to pursue her passion for gardening through building her own homes and gardens, as well as home and garden renovations. Gardening has been paramount to her happiness and she has always fostered a love of nature and the outdoors.

Anne's deep fascination and love of gardens, landscaping, and the Australian bush led her to take up formal studies in landscape and garden design, as well as ongoing studies in horticulture. She considers herself to have over 20 years of experience in the field, having worked alongside some of Brisbane’s greatest gardeners and landscapers, as well as learning from one of Brisbane’s most skilled structural landscapers. Anne believes that gardens equal life, and she works closely with her clients to understand their hopes and dreams for their outdoor spaces, ensuring that the quality of life achieved is much better thanks to her gardening expertise.

By choosing to have your garden and landscape areas designed, planned and constructed by Anne, you are are choosing someone who takes the time to get to know you and understands what you want to achieve in your garden. Anne brings together a broad spectrum of experience, skills, and knowledge to create enjoyable, successful gardening projects that make people happier and more content when they're 'done right.'

“Anne did a wonderful job creating a garden courtyard for me. She was responsive, quick and did an excellent job. It was great to have her project management support to connect with available, high quality labourers in a time when very few are available, and this made the whole process very smooth. She went above and beyond giving me advice and support. Thank you.”
