The Small Garden is a Brisbane-based design studio cultivating greener city living. We combine design practices with a love for nature to bring life to urban spaces.

When people living in urban areas have the opportunity to regularly interact with nature, their wellbeing, happiness and productivity all improve. From outdoor areas to public spaces and offices, our complete design service responds to this innate need to connect with natural environments.

By pushing boundaries and thinking big – even in the smallest of spaces – we create solutions to restore the balance between urban living and the natural world.

“The future will belong to the nature-smart – those individuals, families, businesses and political leaders who develop a deeper understanding of the transformative power of the natural world, and who balance the virtual with the real world.”

Richard Louv, Author of The Nature Principle

 

The Small Garden was established in 2013 to rejuvenate neglected urban spaces. We are passionate about the role design plays in improving our lives and work with individuals and businesses to create forward-thinking solutions for city living.

Inspired by possibility, we believe that the future of our cities depends upon our willingness to embrace the natural world. We take ideas from nature, changemakers and global design thinking, and draw upon more than 15 years of industry experience to overcome the challenges that urban spaces present.

 
Products we love: @gathercoaustralia Indigenus planter collection ... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It is no secret that we take planter design seriously (so much so, we often have our planters custom made) – and this collection is one that will bring character to any outdoor space. The Indigenus collection of planters by Gather Co has been created in collaboration with designers and architects from South Africa. .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Handmade from sustainable materials, each sculptural planter celebrates slow design. Influences throughout the collection range from mid-century design to the form of tuber plants. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Head to our bio to see the full list of our favourite finds!
