Timber Log Planters

Our current design has a series of timber logs at varying sizes, serving several different purposes, including planters, sculpture, seats, table, platforms, etc. Timber logs offers a rustic natural feel. Timber logs can be recycled from fallen trees from arborists or sourced from certified timber plantations or firewood suppliers, making them a sustainable and cost effective material for garden designs. Here are some examples of timber log planters:

Healing Garden Design Sketch

After visiting VINC and consolidating our individual research, we have decided to base our plan on a painting by Merrill Bray through a series of iterations. We like the balance, sense of pulse, beat and rhythm. The pattern also fits well with what we had in mind for the planning of the courtyard space. Here's a quick sketch plan of our updated design concept proposal.

Visit to VINC

Our group visited the Victorian Indigenous Nurseries Co-operative (VINC) to learn more about indigenous plants, collect some first hand information on traditional medicinal plants and their growing conditions and get some fresh ideas for the healing garden project.

A1 Rubber

Our floor design is rather colourful and patterned so, we looked into a simple yet effective material to cater for this purpose. 

We sourced 'A1 Rubber', an Australian owned company who specialise in manufacturing recycled rubber, raw materials and rubber products. 

We have chosen a product by CSBR, Australia's Premium Colour-coated Rubber Crumb by A1 Rubber.
