Mark Fitzgerald - Landscaper

Transplanting huge palms into harbour side properties to frame a view, or installing mature trees to add immediate scale to a new landscape is all in a day's work for this innovative landscaper.

Inaugural winner of the RAIPR Most Outstanding Horticultural Apprentice of the Year in 1983.

His gardens have featured in Vogue Living and Belle, the latest being his garden restoration work at Babworth Estate and Swifts Mansion - two historic properties in Sydney's Darling Point. Penrith Panthers Leagues Club also commissioned Mark to re-design their club surrounds to accommodate the increased traffic associated with the City of Penrith hosting the Year 2000 Olympic rowing events.

Madderlake Gardens - Gardening Tips:
- identify the central axis of the garden.
- add in a focal point feature tree, urn, fountain etc.
- define paths and garden edges using lines of the same plant.
- frame the view/vista with upper canopy plantings.
- then mix it all up at ground level with multiples of your favourite plants.
