About:

Founded by Gavin Matthews in 2020 from his passion and years of experience working in gardens and with plants.

Artisan Horticulture is a small Melbourne-based team of passionate Horticulturists delivering tailored organic residential garden services. 

A Garden holds significant monetary and personal value to most who own one.

We see the landscape as a cherished investment that requires specialised care and expertise. Whether you have a Townhouse or a sprawling estate, we are dedicated to cultivating and celebrating gardens of all types, sizes, designs, and stages of development.

Our Missions:

Tailoring Gardens to Client's Aesthetic Desires:

We understand that every client has unique aesthetic preferences regarding their gardens. We work closely with our clients to understand their desires and vision for outdoor spaces. Our expert team combines their years of landscape form and plant composition knowledge to create and enhance a garden that perfectly balances beauty, functionality, and ecological harmony.

Delivering Luxury Organic Gardening Maintenance Services:

We are dedicated to providing reliable and exceptional organic gardening maintenance services to the metropolitan areas of Melbourne. By following organic horticultural best practices and principles, we ensure that your garden receives the highest quality care. 

Enhancing Ecosystem Services and Increasing Biodiversity:

We believe gardens play a vital role in supporting biodiversity and ecosystem health. By incorporating diverse plants, we attract birds, beneficial insects, and wildlife, creating a thriving ecosystem within your garden. This, in turn, reduces pest pressure on other plant species and promotes natural pest control. Additionally, we emphasise the importance of mulching, which fosters soil biology, increasing soil biodiversity and enhancing nutrient cycling, further strengthening the resilience of your plants.

Mitigating the Heat Island Effect:

Urban areas often suffer from the heat island effect, increasing temperatures and discomfort. We address this issue by strategically increasing the canopy cover within gardens. Planting more trees and plants creates shade and cooling effects, reducing overall heat within the landscape and even reducing heating and cooling bills. The added benefit is that it improves the comfort of your outdoor spaces and contributes to a more sustainable and climate-resilient environment.

Adding Value to Properties:

Well-maintained gardens and beautiful landscapes have been proven to enhance property values. Our expertise in horticultural property management allows us to optimise the aesthetics and functionality of your garden, resulting in a significant increase in the value of your property. We take pride in our ability to enhance the long-term value and appeal of your home through our tailored garden maintenance services.

Low Impact Solutions:

Implementing environmentally conscious practices in the management of our properties and business operations. Our primary goal is to minimize the use of harmful chemicals and pollutants in managing our client’s properties. We proactively seek out eco-friendly products and develop sustainable systems that not only meet the needs of our clients but also contribute positively to the health of our local ecosystems.
