A garden of contrasts that works harmoniously

“We wanted a traditional garden out the front, but relaxed and meandering, not a stiff Victorian garden with hedging,” says Lynn.

This garden is so abundant and established it looks as though it’s been the life-long companion to the Victorian-era weatherboard home it surrounds

Despite looking like it’s always been there, this garden is a recent development, installed in tandem with the home’s renovation two years ago. The Cheongs retained the Victorian facade and added a contemporary extension at the rear, and wanted their garden to reflect this architectural narrative.

Landscape architect Ben Scott of Ben Scott Garden Design was enlisted to help realise their vision.
