Greg Palmer ~ Principal
Designer | Plantsman | Mentor | Botanical Educator
Known as a stalwart of the industry, Greg Palmer brings over 40 years experience designing and creating gardens.
Trained formally as a landscape designer and horticulturist - plant nursery, combined with deep local and international work experience alongside industry leaders, Greg’s intuitive and hands-on approach, botanical design wisdom and technical proficiency is a rare combination in the Australian landscape and garden design world.
Specialising in creating site-specific landscapes, from design through to plant selection and garden installation, Greg’s passion lies with working with plant life and their significant place in our ecology, in turn creating a vibrant living entity that evolves and matures over time.
Greg is inspired by landscapes around the world as well as his part-time home in Victoria’s Yarra Valley where he facilitates ‘hands-on’ garden immersion weekends to small groups from this space. He has been a selective contributor to exhibition gardens, including two times Silver medal winner at the Royal Horticultural Society Chelsea Flower Show 2002 and 2008.
