Garden Showcase – Asian Garden

A calm and considered garden inspired by Asian landscapes, where water, foliage and natural materials work together to create a sense of balance. A central water feature forms the focal point, surrounded by stone, ferns and layered greenery.

Black pots filled with bamboo, Japanese maples, topiary, native trees and silver fern create a natural privacy screen, while river stone pathways and timber seating encourage visitors to slow down and enjoy the space.

Face behind the Garden

David & Valeria, Parrot Landscaping

With more than 20 years of combined experience, David and Valeria know what it takes to turn an outdoor space into somewhere people genuinely want to spend time.

As the team behind Parrot Landscaping, they bring a hands-on approach to every project, from the first idea through to the final planting. Their work combines practical landscaping with thoughtful design, creating outdoor spaces that look great and are made to last.

This year, David and Valeria are bringing that experience to the Garden Showcase, creating a complete outdoor space from the ground up and showcasing what’s possible in your own backyard.
