TESTIMONIALS
“We’ve loved working with Gina and are blown away by the designs and plans she’s created for our KDRB garden. She’s thought of absolutely everything and helped us to learn a lot through the process. We can’t wait to begin bringing the plans to life..”
Elissa and Clinton
“When we met Gina we knew she was the right garden designer for us. We'd spent the last six years buying plants, relocating gardens and never getting the results we wanted.
Gina has designed what will be the most amazingly magnificent garden. Her calm nature, ability to understand our needs, means she has skilfully created a design we are so excited to implement.
Gina's attention to detail, her passion and professionalism is exceptional. We can't wait to share our before and after photos! ”

“Gina was very easy to work with - she had excellent ideas that fit with our existing garden, our preferences, and our climate. She was prompt in providing us with drawings, and with incorporating our feedback. We were particularly impressed with the research she did to ensure that her suggestions for design, plantings, and the use of local businesses were relevant to us, despite her being located in Melbourne, and us living in North QLD.
We would highly recommend using New Foliage Garden Design for your landscaping process - we ended up with a relevant, creative, and affordable design that was fun to be involved in the making of.”

“Gina was very creative and responsive in designing my front and back yard.
She listened, presented a beautiful and functional design and monitored the landscape installation. From the very first meeting, she was professional, friendly and took the time to teach me to look after the garden that I'd installed.
Gina is wonderful to work with, cannot recommend highly enough.”
