G’day! I’m Sherry Sutton — a garden lover, landscape nerd and proud plant mum living on the Central Coast of NSW.
Originally from Menifee Valley California, I moved to Australia in 2015 with my Australian partner and instantly fell in love with the Aussie landscape — from coastal gardens and gum trees to the stubborn-but-satisfying art of keeping a healthy lawn in a climate that loves extremes.
I started this blog to share what I’ve learned (and keep learning) about gardening and landscaping in Australia. Whether you’re figuring out the best native plants for your region, choosing between turf and artificial grass, or just need a few practical tips for keeping your yard alive through a dry spell, I’ve got you covered.
I love all things landscape architecture, and I’ve always been passionate about creating outdoor spaces that are not just beautiful, but also functional and sustainable. I get nerdy about irrigation systems, love a bit of concrete work, and firmly believe every patch of lawn — real or fake — deserves some love.
This blog is for fellow green thumbs (or those trying to be one), weekend warriors, and anyone wanting to get more out of their outdoor space. Whether you’re in Darwin or down in Tassie, there’ll be something here to help you plan, plant and maintain your slice of Aussie paradise.
Thanks for stopping by! Have a stickybeak around and feel free to get in touch — I always love a yarn about gardens.
Cheers,
Sherry
