The Atkinson’s garden in Auckland’s North Shore

Auckland couple Dave and Phoebe Atkinson transformed their bare Forrest Hill section into a lush, urban retreat. Their garden is a testament to patience and creativity, focusing heavily on upcycled and salvaged materials.

A standout feature is a glasshouse built from discarded windows. This personal project provides a satisfying escape from their busy careers. The garden, filled with repurposed items, is unique and constantly evolving, offering a peaceful and creative space for the couple to enjoy.
