Welcome to Garden Graphix, the website of Award winning Landscape Designer and Artist Anthony Skinner.

When you work with Anthony you will find that your desires are given the greatest consideration. Anthony feels that it is of prime importance that the garden you are going to live and grow with is the garden that reflects your taste and ideas. To Anthony, the client's wishes are always given the highest priority and the design emerges out of his considered response to the brief and budget of the client.

Anthony places great importance and emphasis on the harmony, interaction and balance between Landscape Design, Architecture and the Environment. The Garden should be an extension of the style of the Home in both proportion and atmosphere and should reflect and merge with the environmental setting in which it is built. In this regard, the selection of appropriate plant material is crucial and Anthony’s wealth of experience in growing and observing plants adds weight to this vital aspect of Design.

Anthony is part of a team of knowledgeable plant specialists at Wairere Nursery who are all experienced in selecting the highest quality plants in order to give you the best possible value for your investment. In his inspired designs, Anthony makes a point of not over-planting. He has a wealth of plant knowledge from growing his own stock and therefore knows how plants mature and that overcrowding results in the demise of the design.

One of his many strengths is the ability to provide creative solutions for problem areas. When you commission Anthony to design your garden, not only will you have one of New Zealand’s foremost designers taking care of your needs, but the resultant creation will become one of your greatest assets. A garden designed by Garden Graphix has an enduring appeal that is timeless, beautiful, harmonious and memorable.

In awarding Anthony’s design entry at Ellerslie Flower Show a Gold medal, the comment of the judges was that “it was Anthony’s superb and meticulous attention to detail that made the difference between a Gold and Silver award.”
