Zen Garden
A Japanese-inspired garden in Orange NSW
“As I move through my house I am enchanted by the garden picture that greets me at each window and soon I find myself outside again in the wonderful space that Sarah planned and sculpted for us. What now appears to always have been there, or was meant to be there, is so soothing in one view, yet enticing and exciting in another, the result of nature and human creativity working together….beneath this is Sarah’s work, her knowledge of plants and landscape, her creativity and wisdom. Our garden….a great joy to us and our visitors, family and friends.”
— Susan Blinkhorn, Orange
in briefInitial garden and house renovation designed simultaneously with the clients and Source Architects. This allowed access early in the build, to bring in mature Maple trees propagated by the clients father and for the landscaper to excavate, level and set out the site before the new house wing enclosed the backyard. A low maintenance design was requested as well as one inspired by our clients many trips to Japan. Landscaping was carried out by John Anderson of Four Seasons Landscaping.
