Reviews
Our Placeholder© Package has been a delightful and surprising experience. Like being gifted with a whole new world of plants. I’ve been introduced to a new way of looking at, planning and understanding my garden. I absolutely recommend Placeholder for anyone wanting to transform a boring space. Lachlan is a wonderful communicator (and has a cute dog, too.)

Lachlan is an excellent communicator and very good person to learn from. Even though we don't have much money, he helped us get started doing everything by ourselves. It's not just about improving your garden too. If you think you won't enjoy it, think you aren't strong enough or don't know what to do, but are willing to feel more grounded and connect to the land you live on, you should try Lachlan's service!!

Art Curator
I couldn’t be happier with my experience of Lachlan’s business. He was very understanding that my partner and I know very little about plants and gardening – giving advice and guidance whilst considering the things that were important to us.

Lachlan did a great job of the green roof for our shipping container office, and then for the native plantings on our street frontage. All the plants have taken and are growing really well. The research he did into suitable native plants for the green roof was very thorough.

Start by booking an initial consultation.
The cost of this meeting is $330.
In this meeting I'll learn about you and your garden. Together we'll explore options for the best approach to improving your space.
Most of the meeting will centre around your hopes and goals for the garden. I will bring a guide-book to explore your aesthetic preferences and try to deeply understand your taste and requirements.
We'll also have a budget discussion to explore the possibilities available to you, both now and in the future. I'll email you some resources to prepare you for this discussion beforehand.
I can't wait to hear about your project.
Lachlan :-)
