Children can find ceramic bugs and tree frogs hidden throughout the playground; or store samples of seed pods and leaves in “discovery cloches” for other young botanists to examine. http://sbla.net.au/garden-chats daily 0.75 2026-09-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5767c7df5016e10f9512912f/82e5d758-3105-4ca1-9346-b839ab07b74f/River+Cloud.png garden-chats - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5767c7df5016e10f9512912f/3b4e47a7-88d8-40b5-a72f-d4d096f1d071/river+with+flowerss.png garden-chats - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5767c7df5016e10f9512912f/03fba216-16fa-4271-8e1e-f4adafd807e1/river+pink.png garden-chats - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5767c7df5016e10f9512912f/41e7e1d3-0c11-4cf2-8519-a8ff0f3801e7/river+really+ends%21%21.png garden-chats - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. http://sbla.net.au/home-1 daily 0.75 2020-06-07 http://sbla.net.au/home daily 0.75 2020-09-03 http://sbla.net.au/meet-the-team daily 0.75 2026-10-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5767c7df5016e10f9512912f/fac2c405-96cb-41e7-a5b4-995ca43a6239/Simone+smaller.png Meet The Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5767c7df5016e10f9512912f/82dabb02-96f6-464a-b902-9d461deb7cc6/3.jpg Meet The Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5767c7df5016e10f9512912f/bb3e2d9a-c812-49f9-ab3a-e7c994dd58c6/Matt.jpg Meet The Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5767c7df5016e10f9512912f/a6d20c8b-fd4e-445d-8147-7823cfaa50b2/Phoebe.jpg Meet The Team - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5767c7df5016e10f9512912f/54850a97-7c71-4d82-8b41-81b096417f1e/Colin.jpg Meet The Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5767c7df5016e10f9512912f/54b829a7-7794-404d-b171-57320b313779/Georgia.jpg Meet The Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5767c7df5016e10f9512912f/e16bdd0e-6a43-4715-a55b-e8d3623e96b1/Copy+of+roman.png Meet The Team - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5767c7df5016e10f9512912f/db9cb325-aef4-4812-9b8b-1eb1adac0411/sbla_flower3.jpg Meet The Team - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5767c7df5016e10f9512912f/7a3aadc0-5df7-46e0-a1e1-87666d36ca89/IMG_7473+2.jpeg Meet The Team http://sbla.net.au/garden-chats-form daily 0.75 2026-09-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5767c7df5016e10f9512912f/1756796310625-VHE78MC5EDQSE3T3I3Y1/RoryGardiner1381c_006.jpg Garden Chats Questions - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5767c7df5016e10f9512912f/1658990543193-75R8II6GOHA8ILYCF1CX/Deakin_Uni_2021+6.jpg Garden Chats Questions - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5767c7df5016e10f9512912f/1756784877580-XY4HNL7Z5KSPT8XYEE40/Richmond_High_61.jpg Garden Chats Questions - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5767c7df5016e10f9512912f/1590812840456-AGWAUP316LR1I0CGTUYR/01-Nightingale02-Rory+Gardiner.jpg Garden Chats Questions - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. http://sbla.net.au/new-page-59 daily 0.75 2026-10-22 http://sbla.net.au/new-page-85 daily 0.75 2026-10-22 http://sbla.net.au/new-page-69 daily 0.75 2026-10-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5767c7df5016e10f9512912f/8dd37721-5079-4490-ad49-c4147b57b30b/9.png team 2 Simone Bliss Creative Director Simone Bliss is an Australian landscape architect and the founder and Creative Director of SBLA Studio, an award-winning landscape architecture and urban design practice with offices in Melbourne and Launceston.

This led to his keen interest in landscape architecture and urbanism due to its positive agency in creating places, spaces, and systems that tell our stories and offer meaningful ways to connect to our world. He is also drawn to the profession’s innovative nature - its ability to solve problems through design to takle some of our world’s most pressing issues. He reckons it’s the best profession in the world. With skills in planting, ecological design, community engagement, and hand-drawing, Matt has played key roles in designing schools, neighbourhood centres, inner-city public spaces, streetscapes, expansive inter-suburban parks, playgrounds, ecologically informed infrastructural systems, and masterplanned communities. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5767c7df5016e10f9512912f/95dbbcd9-a0f1-4ac6-a755-fd39bab5cae5/14.png team 2 Phoebe Baker Studio Producer Phoebe Baker is a composer and studio curator at SBLA Studio.

To her, landscapes hold richly layered histories and she gets enjoyment from collaborating across communities, disciplines and cultures to generate meaningful and site-sensitive outcomes. To date, her experience spans across playspaces, residential, temporary installations, strategic planning, waterways and master planning. Growing up in regional Victoria, she is passionate about the responsible development of rural and regional areas, and how this may begin to address some of the economic, social and ecological problems associated with climate change. Moving to an inner city home, she is nurturing an evergrowing productive garden. Through her work on the Coastal Resiliency Strategy for East Boston in the United States, Georgia has experienced how landscape architecture can influence positive changes in the built environment at a larger and more enduring scale. She puts this into practice with an approach to creating spaces that builds on context, looking both beyond and into site. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5767c7df5016e10f9512912f/a6dc64d3-3059-4b8c-8a31-f8dd8c22016e/13.png team 2 Esther Honybun Landscape Architect Esther’s interests stem from the relationships between people and place. She is curious about the complexities of the landscapes we form part of and is fundamentally interested in how our experience of landscape contributes to the way we understand, relate to and ultimately look after the land we live on. Esther prioritizes strong relationships and rejoices in working together with diverse knowledge-holders and professionals. She believes that beautiful and ecologically rich public space starts with strong, trusting relationships between project team members, the local community and key stakeholders. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5767c7df5016e10f9512912f/1c5b8f6d-157a-4d07-9970-3540fa212892/sbla_flower7_no+background.png team 2
