ABOUT US
The Garden Design Society consists of a wide range of people who share a passion for garden design: practicing garden designers, academics, teachers, students, garden owners, landscapers and others who appreciate the value of skilled garden design. One of our main aims is to encourage and support members to reach new levels of innovation and creativity in their work.
Accredited Members have undergone a rigorous process to ensure they can provide a full professional service in the industry. Designers listed on this site include Fellows, Accredited members and those whose expertise has led to their participation in the biennial Auckland Garden DesignFest.
