Why gardens fail in the South West
Sandy coastal soils from Busselton to Dunsborough drain fast and hold almost no nutrition. Add compaction, years of synthetic fertilisers, water repellency and unnoticed fungal problems, and even well-watered gardens starve. Replacing plants without fixing the soil just restarts the same cycle — which is why so many gardens are replanted every few years and never truly recover.
How Flo restores a garden
Every restoration starts with diagnosis, not planting. Flo walks the property with you, tests the soil, and identifies the real reasons plants are failing — structure, biology, water retention, nutrient availability, fungus or parasites. It's the same methodical approach used in European horticulture for generations.
From there we rebuild: rebalancing the soil at a molecular level with certified-organic inputs, restoring the microbial life that feeds roots, correcting watering and drainage, and only then repairing the planting itself. The result is a landscape that needs less water, resists disease and genuinely improves with time.
