atural Urban Courtyard’ in Point Chevalier won three awards<br />
‘Nin total. Second Nature won the Supreme Award for Best<br />
Landscape Project of the Year and the Premier Best Horticultural<br />
Project of the Year Award for the project, while designer Andy<br />
Hamilton Studio won Best Sustainable Design for his work on<br />
the garden.<br />
Created for a new property built on the back garden of a 1920s<br />
villa, the courtyard is compact and built within a limited budget but<br />
with no compromise on quality or feelings of lightness and space.<br />
The project includes flowering plants, herbs and fruit trees,<br />
to provide both aesthetic pleasure and sources of food for the<br />
clients and for bees and other insects, supporting pollination in the<br />
community garden to the rear of the property.
