Gardens designed for how things grow here

Creating a successful coastal garden takes more than choosing attractive plants. It takes an understanding of the climate, soil, sunlight, water and salt exposure that shape every property along the coast.

With more than two decades of local experience, we know what works, where it works, and how to create gardens that only grow more beautiful with time — from colourful tropical planting to calm, structured green landscapes.

Every garden tells a different story

We don't apply the same formula to every property

Each garden is designed around its environment, its purpose and the people who will experience it. Our experience lets us work confidently across a wide range of coastal garden styles.

A lifelong passion for plants

Led by founder Nicky Morrell

The Garden Crew was founded by Nicky Morrell, whose creativity and passion for plants have guided the company for more than 20 years. Nicky is the creative force behind every project, working closely with clients to understand their ideas before guiding the design direction.

Her local knowledge and instinct for planting let her see the potential in a space and create gardens that feel established, natural and connected to their surroundings — supported by a close-knit team of more than ten experienced gardeners.

Meet the crew

The Garden Crew completely transformed our outdoor space. Nicky understood what we wanted immediately, and the team brought the design to life with incredible knowledge and care.
