Water conscious garden design
Jennifer Clancy Gardens & Design is a professional and affordable landscape design service offering on-site consultations, plans and reports and installation assistance.
Jennifer has been living and working in Central Victoria since 1992 and has an excellent knowledge of the local conditions affecting garden development.
Her understanding of the elements that make up good design produces wonderfully exciting layout plans. They are composed of strong confident lines, balanced spaces and striking use of plant material.
Jennifer believes that her work must show a sympathy with the region and climate from which the garden emerges, while also reflecting the client's personality.
A sustainable and organic approach to our earth's resources is paramount to her design philosophy. This means that a sensitive and intelligent appreciation of water and other materials informs her practice, including ease of maintenance.
Jennifer Clancy listens to her clients and understands their needs.
Jennifer Clancy is a qualified horticulturist trained in landscape design and construction.
She holds a Bachelor of Arts, A Graduate Diploma in Applied Science in Horticulture (Burnley) and a Certificate of Permaculture Design.
Jennifer says of her work:
I am interested in a wide range of garden styles including traditional, contemporary and indigenous. I am excited by the way that art and mythology can act as inspiration for the garden and I delight in using sculptural pieces and unusual ornament.
There must be plenty of places to sit and day dream in the garden and enjoy the changing play of shade and shadow. I love using massed planting and bold contrasts with foliage texture and colour.
Most of all, my gardens provide the opportunity to be held by the deep restfulness that comes with being in nature.
