Drawing on the quintessentially New Zealand legacy of Macrocarpa, the garden challenges our preconceived ideas about the use of materials. Macrocarpa has traditionally been planted as shelter belts on farmland and firewood, but is fast becoming valued as a building material. The use of Macrocarpa in the garden illustrates how this often undervalued timber can be used as a durable, functional and aesthetic structure.

Tim Durrant, the founder of landscapedesign.co.nz, is passionate about the reputation of New Zealanders as innovators and strongly believes that a creative economy and the original ideas and designs of innovative New Zealanders, once protected, are integral to the country moving forward. He has used innovative New Zealand products in this garden which lend a strong ingenious “number 8 wire” feel to it.

A stronger, more confident New Zealand culture has emerged in recent years and this garden explores the growing maturity of New Zealand’s lifestyle and its cultural identity. The garden also expresses the harmony between New Zealand’s native and exotic elements (in both the social and environmental contexts) by the use of exotic and native materials.
