Dream Gardens

Michael and Rosi Kenny's home is an 1890's homestead just south of Toowoomba, a rural setting with cows and horses roaming freely across their acreage. But wanting to live off the land by adopting a 'grow it, eat it, live it' ethos is easier said than done when you're surrounded by dry, rock hard paddocks.

Frank and Mary-Anne D'Aquila spent three years pursuing a family garden and pool in their sloped backyard but their substandard construction job looked more like an end of the world bunker than a family oasis.

After losing everything to the Black Saturday bushfires, Stewart and Sandra Hart tasked Paul Bangay, one of Australia's most prominent designers, to use his design magic on their new property, just an hour drive from Melbourne.

Mark and Sandra Sader have pressed the greenlight on a design for their ultimate resort style garden at their newly built waterfront home. The plan is to have both house and garden finished at the same time – a good idea, in theory.

After tragically losing their wife & mother to cancer Roberto & his two children are hoping that the transformation of their garden will not only bring them healing but also create an everlasting tribute to their loved one.

Phillip and Maria are awaiting the birth of their first child and the creation of a lakeside garden. Sounds idyllic, right? However, delays, bad weather & budget constraints conspire to keep the expecting couple ever waiting.

Justine and Greg are busy with three kids and high-pressure jobs that often take them away from home. It's their dream to have a garden sanctuary to escape, relax and recharge in. Can they find sanity from the insanity?

Paul and Zoe Mitzi own a fabulous 1920s art deco home in Melbourne and they want a garden to match. But creating an ambitious space can take courage and bravery, especially when all of your friends and family think your design plans are crazy.
