Joel Black is a qualified and experienced horticulturist and garden designer with a sound understanding of Canberra’s harsh conditions who provides garden consultations, horticultural advice, garden design and landscaping.
With hot summers, hard winter frosts, challenging clay based soils and difficult new-build sites, successful gardens in Canberra rely on informed and knowledgeable advice.

That is why consultations sit at the core of our work here at Canberra Horticulture & Garden Design. A seemingly well designed garden full of dead or dying plants isn’t really well designed at all which is what we focus on avoiding with our advice and garden designs.
Supporting every stage of a garden’s life from oonsite consultations, design and considered plant selection through to landscaping and ongoing problem solving and long-term plant health, Joel offers clear, practical guidance across all aspects of your new or existing garden
Sometimes one or several consultations is all people need to create their own dream outdoor living spaces.
But other times a full garden design is what is needed and that is where Joel as a qualified and experienced garden designer really shines.
