When designer Collette Dinnigan purchased her homestead in Bowral, NSW, in 2018, the garden wasn’t at all remarkable. “There were a few hydrangea bushes and some well-established trees,” she recalls of the two-hectare property. However, while she wasn’t well-versed in garden design at the time, she ploughed ahead and tapped into her intuitive style to create her own Eden, striking a balance between chaos and order. “I wanted my garden to be charming, enchanting, whimsical, kind of effortless, and to feel just natural.”
