A garden requires patient labour and attention. Plants do not grow merely to satisfy ambitions or to fulfil good intentions. They thrive because someone expended effort on them.

When it comes to garden care, experience matters — and Tom Dunlop brings over 25 years of horticultural expertise to every garden he works on.

Tom is a trade-qualified horticulturist with a calm, practical approach. He doesn’t just mow and tidy. He sees the whole picture — the plants, the light, the soil, the property. He listens carefully, works without fuss, and brings reliable insight that clients have come to trust.

Tom began his horticultural journey with an apprenticeship at the Royal Botanic Gardens Sydney. From collecting wild specimens with botanists, to curating glasshouse collections, to planting formal beds and pruning roses — he learned to work with precision, care, and deep respect for plant life.

Later, Tom took on leadership roles at Centennial Parklands, managing both horticulture and turf care teams. He gained additional qualifications in: Applied Science (Landscaping); Tree Surgery; Nutritional Farming; and the Certificate IV in Horticulture.
