The garden accompanying this Federation home in Mosman, Sydney was already beautiful and grand, but the design needed consolidating to suit the modern day. 

Following a string of designers who worked on the garden in the past 100 years (the most recent being Peter Fudge), Wyer & Co stepped in to improve the functionality of the space. 

The landscape designers have since updated the extensive 1412 square metre garden, tying it all together with a varied plant palette.

Some people are just born plant people. Jac Semmler, Ornamental Category Manager at The Digger’s Club is one of them! After spending years experimenting in the gardens of various rental homes, Jac finally has a place to really let her plant-freak flag fly: in the garden of her own home in Frankston, where the outside space is almost as big as the house itself! It’s the perfect place for experimentation.

Georgina Reid of The Planthunter chats with Jac about her ‘botanical laboratory’: getting it wrong, getting it right, and embracing the art of the process.
