Creating engaging gardens for Adelaide families
Adelaide’s best family friendly gardens

Did you spend most of your childhood playing and having fun outdoors? Do you want your family to have the same fun experience in your garden without it being filled with plastic toys and swing sets?
We can help you! Experiencing the benefits from having a kid-friendly garden right outside our door prompted us to develop a new part of our new business ‘Gardens for Kids (GFK)’ so other families could benefit from our landscaping and design skills, knowledge and experience.
We can work with you create a one of Adelaide’s best family friendly gardens, to provide a fun and engaging outdoor space for your kids, without compromising on design, aesthetics and an outdoor space for you, the ‘big kids’!
With a GFK Adelaide Family Friendly Garden makeover, the whole family will enjoy the garden. From babies and smaller kids, to teenagers and parents (aka big kids)!
Working with you to create a garden you’re family will thrive in.
At GFK, we are dedicated to helping Adelaide kids of all ages, thrive in their very own Family Friendly Garden. We work with Adelaide families of all shapes and sizes to provide a garden that is engaging, beautiful and appropriate for their kids’ age and development.
