Special Projects
We take on impactful one‑off projects anywhere in the world, from large scale, ambitious installations to small planting moments that instantly lift a space.
What we bring
Standout greenery, trusted expertise
We deliver special projects all over the world, managing every stage from concept to completion to ensure quality, feasibility and a seamless result. With deep in‑house expertise across horticulture, design, engineering and manufacturing, we create bespoke greenery solutions that bring ambitious ideas to life with confidence.
Design-led, bespoke solutions
Every green project begins with a creative response to your brief. Our designers work closely with you, either in person or virtually, to explore form, scale, materials and planting concepts tailored to your brand, purpose and space, wherever you are located.
Through detailed drawings, visualisations and technical coordination, we develop solutions that are both imaginative and buildable. This collaborative process allows us to support projects locally and internationally with the same clarity, efficiency and design integrity.
Whether the outcome is bold and expressive or subtle and refined, each solution is carefully considered, ensuring the planting feels intentional, integrated and distinctive within its environment.
End-to-end delivery
Special projects are delivered end to end by an experienced, multidisciplinary team. From concept development and technical coordination through to installation, we manage every stage to ensure quality, feasibility and seamless execution.
With in-house expertise across design, horticulture, engineering and manufacturing, we’re able to design and engineer bespoke planting solutions tailored to each environment. From custom planters and integrated irrigation to structural considerations and specialist hardware, complex ideas are developed with precision and delivered with confidence.
The result is ambitious greenery realised as intended, technically sound, visually impactful and built for long-term performance.
Recognised on the world stage
We’ve proven ourselves time and time again on ambitious, technically demanding projects — the kind that push planting design, engineering and execution into new territory. That track record has been recognised at the highest level, including eight honours at the 2026 International Plantscape Awards and the programme’s top accolade, the Diamond Judges’ Award.
It marks our third year receiving top honours on the global stage, and it’s why teams come to us when their greenery project truly has to deliver.
Trusted for global rollouts
Although we are based in New Zealand and Australia, we support special projects of all scales wherever in the world you are based. Whether working with a single flagship space or coordinating multi-site installations, our team manages logistics, specification and installation with precision.
Through careful planning and trusted delivery partners, we ensure plants and bespoke hardware arrive on time and in optimal condition, ready for seamless installation. International projects are handled with the same attention to detail, including coordination around regulations, transport requirements and environmental considerations.
