Spring is certainly a busy season at Ozbreed! Our recent collaborations included a multifaceted project with Canterbury Bankstown Council, TAFE NSW and Botanica Nurseries to upgrade Bankstown City Gardens. Horticulture and Landscape Construction students were given the opportinuty for some hands-on experience, working with council to revamp the existing garden space using three Ozbreed favourites: 


Isabella®  Liriope muscari ‘LIRF’ PBR
Lucky Stripe™  Lomandra hystrix ‘LMV200’ PBR
Shara™  Lomandra fluviatilis ‘ABU7’ PBR

These plants were chosen for their hardiness, affordability, and distinct colour tones creating contrast, layers and density. Completed in September, this project was a wonderful opportunity to contribute to the education and experience of Australia's future landscapers and horticulturists. Special thanks to head teacher Tony Momi for his leadership.

If you're interested in speaking with us about a project or would like to know more about this one, contact Emil Montibeler.
