Wind Gardens

Hi Im Jacob De Ruiter and can offer you a professional service with 40 years of experience when bringing your dream garden to life! I take an artistic approach to landscaping and garden design , while remaining practical and realistic. When I design and build your garden, you get a guarantee to ensure you are happy with the result. I began my caree... r in garden design and build after graduating from Lincoln University with two diplomas in Horticulture and Parks Administration and Recreation. You can be rest assured that I offer a quality service for all your landscaping , build and project management and planting needs. I can also provide a solution for you in areas exposed to wind and difficult terrain. Many of my techniques creating low maintenance gardens with micro-climates, mounds and cluster planting for shelter and wind deflection are covered in depth in my three publications: Gardens In The Wind (Published by Government Print, 1991) Creating A Natural Garden (Published by Bateman, 1996) Wind Gardens (Published by Te Papa, 2001) Watch your garden and outdoor area come to life - anywhere throughout New Zealand! I provide landscaping consultations and garden design throughout the country and will help you find the best solution for project management in your area. My partner Coral Hyam and I run both the Wind Gardens landscape service and produce Haewai Honey Mead wine from our home and wind garden in Wellington. I play music regularly in Wellington venues and am also a beekeeper. More info on our services...Read More
