What does it take to build a landscape that continues to thrive long after the tools are packed away?

For Paddy Milne, owner of The Scape Artist, long-term performance starts with connecting design, construction, and ongoing maintenance from the beginning.

In Episode 151 of The Front Garden, Paddy joins Adam Hompas Landscapes to discuss working with Ballarat’s heavy clay, frost, and seasonal extremes, as well as the importance of drainage, thoughtful plant selection, and clear construction documentation.

He also shares an honest lesson from growing his team too quickly—and why steady, considered growth has created a stronger foundation for what comes next.

Stop telling yourself that your work isn’t good enough.

Entering the Victorian Landscape Industry Awards isn’t about declaring that you’re the best in the industry. It’s about putting forward a project you’re proud of and giving experienced industry peers the opportunity to see what you’ve achieved.

That project could earn industry recognition, create a huge sense of pride for your team, and remind you just how good your work really is 🏆

But you’ll never know unless you put it forward.

If you’re a first-time entrant and have been in business for less than six years, The Emerging Talent (The Nic van Diemen Award) is your opportunity to take that first step.

Complete your Awards entry today, then submit your photos, supporting documentation and video walk-through by 4 September.

Meet fellow business owners, team members, and suppliers, hear from Wholesale Nurseries, and take a guided tour of the Garden Supply Centre Bendigo yard.

How sustainable can a brand-new garden really be?

It’s a question landscape designer Pia Lefevre doesn’t shy away from.

In Episode 150 of The Front Garden, the Joyscapes owner talks with Adam Hompas Landscapes about the realities of designing more sustainably; from reusing what’s already on site and making thoughtful material choices, to balancing environmental impact with creating an outdoor space people genuinely want to use.

They also unpack the importance of functionality, detailed planning, and clear communication between designers, landscapers, and clients.

It’s a practical conversation about sustainability without the absolutes—and why sometimes the small decisions made at the design stage can have the biggest impact over time.
