We’re excited to share a recently completed landscape project in the beautiful Gold Coast Hinterland, an elevated Bonogin prize home with sweeping views and now, a garden that truly matches its incredible setting.
Botany Design Co. was invited to collaborate with the talented team at Queensland Fence and Landscape, providing horticultural guidance and a carefully curated planting palette to renovate all new and existing garden beds throughout the property. It was such a pleasure working alongside a team whose craftsmanship, from retaining walls to the stunning fire pit area, sets the perfect stage for a thoughtfully designed, thriving garden.
Designing a Planting Palette Made for Bonogin’s Landscape
Every garden begins with understanding the site, and in Bonogin, that means embracing the natural beauty of the Hinterland, the sun patterns across the sloping landscape, and the architectural style of the home.
Plants were selected with horticultural expertise to complement the home’s strong architectural presence while offering year-round interest, resilience, and a cohesive visual flow across the property. The planting palette includes hardy feature species, soft structural layers, and textures that settle effortlessly into the surrounding landscape.
Each plant was chosen not just for its beauty, but because it’s suited to the site’s conditions, microclimate, soil profile, and long-term maintenance needs, all essential elements for ensuring a garden doesn’t just look good on day one, but grows beautifully over time.
Why Horticultural Guidance Matters
A well-designed garden is never a guess. It’s a balance of creativity, science, and planning.
Engaging a horticulturist during your landscape renovation helps ensure:
The right plants are chosen for your site avoiding costly mistakes and replacements later.
Planting design fits your lifestyle and maintenance preferences.
Plants thrive long-term because they are selected for sunlight, soil, water tolerance, and microclimate needs.
A cohesive, intentional look that enhances the architecture and overall landscape design.
Better growth, better performance, better value.
This Bonogin project is a perfect example of the beautiful results achieved when plant knowledge and quality landscape installation come together.
A Garden Worthy of a Prize Home
From lush new borders to revitalised existing garden beds, the finished spaces now feel unified, considered, and vibrant, exactly what a prize home deserves. Thoughtful plant selection paired with professional installation has transformed the outdoor areas into warm, welcoming, and high-performing gardens that complement the panoramic Gold Coast views.
If you’re planning a landscape design or garden renovation on the Gold Coast and want expert guidance on creating a planting palette that suits your site and your vision, we’d love to help.
