Somers Homestead
The Somers Project
A unique and wonderful client has a love for nature, including the goats and other animals she rescues.
The brief included creating a space that was in harmony with the surrounding gums trees and fields. The desire was for a place where nature could be watched, where frogs could be listened to, and time could be shared as a relaxing retreat.
A feature dry creek bed runs through the main area over 50m long providing an inviting ecosystem to thrive.
Varying native plants were used such as Acacia baileyana 'Purpurea'; Eucalyptus gregsoniana; Correa alba; Lomandra longifolia 'Tanika'; Myoporum parvifolium 'Purpurea', and many more...
The veggie garden and paths were made up of over 100 reclaimed railway sleepers to provide a rustic elegance.
Although the photos shown are only of newly planted and rabbit-proofed areas, the next year or two will provide a green space that will allow a delightful wandering to occur.
Here’s what the client had to say:
"Love the garden. It is my dream garden and just walking into, gives me a huge amount of pleasure and joy. I am very proud of it. I feel your talented people really heard my dream and have made it happen. Everyone treated me beautifully and respectfully, even in anxious moments.
The process I am sure is difficult at times, behind the scenes coordinating, but from my lens, it seemed seamless and polished.
Two people I'd like to pick out for their exceptional attributes. Lachie and Connie. Wow they were utterly brilliant and went above and beyond in my view. Caring in every way. Communication was excellent. "
