Open Gardens Australia Present's the 'Union Street Garden' in Armadale

This Armadale property featuring a PJL Vertical Garden, will be opening its gates to the public this weekend as part of Open Gardens Australia, and we would love to see you there! 


When: Saturday 30 & Sunday 31 August

Hours: 10am - 4:30pm

Entry: $8 (Under 18 FREE)

The owners wished to invest in something to create interest in their small garden area and contacted PJL who came up with an ideal solution-  a vertical garden!

Vertical gardens are perfect for beautifying previously bland spaces, and are ideal for small backyards and apartments as they take up minimal space.

Designed, constructed and maintained by Phillip Johnson Landscapes, this stunning vertical garden has transformed the high concrete wall behind it into a beautiful native outlook from the owners dining area.  

Standing 4m high and 3m wide, this ‘green wall’ has increased the plant life in the area and further assisted in filtering CO2 from the atmosphere. It is a fascinating living form that is flourishing with an abundance of textures and greenery.

We cant wait to see you there!

  1. We've converted well over an acre of lawn adjacent to whatever house we were living in - both front and back yards - into productive gardens over the last half decade,
    and hopefully nudged a few others out along that (garden) path as well.
    And I can't praise such transitions highly enough! But if anything, permaculture is a flexible bedfellow, and this situation begged for something else.

  3. Planting a garden can be fun and an enriching experience but with it comes the responsibility of tackling the waste which is generated in the process. This necessitates the roping in of a professional garden waste management agency like <a href="http://www.everythingrubbish.com.au/>Everything Rubbish</a>. Handling garden waste requires special skills, the ones which are totally different from those required for handling commercial and household waste.
