garden designer Peter Fudge

His name would be perfect for a character in a children's book but it belongs to a Sydney, Australia landscape architect that designs the most beautiful gardens! Take a look....


Peter Fudge does not design in one particular style, it seems he adapts to the special needs of the space for each project. This formal French inspired garden reminds me of Loi Thai's garden in Maryland.





This box hedge planted with steps looks cool.



I love the low maintenance and the shape of the shades of the landscape lights of this ground cover filled garden.


This one is Asian inspired and modern.



This light coastal garden with pool is accented with pastels that compliment its waterside location.




For a wooded suburban lot, he uses lots of sleek decking and grasses.





In this symmetrical garden, Peter Fudge utilized lots of hedges, both tall and short to create privacy and define garden "rooms".


This French styled parterre looks like a lot of work to me!


He uses low blooming succulents in an artistic way.


The other view....


Love the simple design of this fountain or maybe it is just a reflecting pool.

Aren't these Australian gardens just beautiful? Visit the website of Peter Fudge here for more.


This is the reason I am trawling the internet for garden beauty today.
First day of spring in my neck of the woods! 
Happy spring everyone!

Thanks for visiting!

stylish golfer from Down Under, Adam Scott



This handsome man from Gold Coast, Australia was in our neck of the woods for the last week and this is what he did while he was here.

He won the PGA Bridgestone Invitational with the lead through all four rounds.
