MIFGS 2024: Breath of Fresh Air Garden Tour

During this year's Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show, we had the privilege to speak with Paul Smith, the Design Director of Paul Alexander Landscape about his garden 'A Breath of Fresh Air' which won second place in the 2024 boutique garden competition.

The garden, described by Paul is that the central design ethos of the garden involves an integration of abundant greenery. Simultaneously, architectural structures are conceived as unobtrusive sculptural arches. These arches, conceived with lightweight aluminum and permeable forms, maintain a harmonious dialogue with the surrounding environment. They function as both design elements and symbolic gateways, facilitating the interaction between vegetation and structure. Beyond its aesthetic significance, the garden concept underscores the necessity for increased green space in our urban fabric. It speaks to our responsibility to craft cities and homes that breathe.

The garden was designed by Paul Alexander Landscape, and was constructed by the team at ACM Outdoors.
