A bold and energetic garden inspired by the rugged landscapes of South Africa and the vegetation of Aotearoa. Layered planting, large rocks and a mix of palms, flax, grasses and agaves create a natural, rustic setting filled with texture and colour.
At the heart of the garden, a central fire pit creates a warm gathering point. Red, orange and yellow flowers add energy, while river stone, timber elements and sculptural planting complete the relaxed outdoor setting.
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.
North Shore-based, with over 20 years of combined experience. Parrot is the team bringing the entire Garden Showcase to life this year — turning ordinary backyards into thoughtfully planned, built-to-last outdoor spaces.
From paving and retaining walls to planting and water features, no project is too big or too complex — which is exactly why they’re building this year’s showcase from the ground up.
You can take a piece of it home.
