This contemporary sculptural landscape garden design installation was constructed in a vacant Eastern Suburbs block next to an art gallery in the Bondi Shopping precinct.

Woollahra Council was keen to use the overgrown, run-down, disused space as a cultural experience for passing pedestrians.

The landscape installation is titled “Santa Cruz”. It’s constructed of pink painted wooden sleepers, recycled large sandstone blocks, recycled steel, large river pebbles and succulents and cacti planted on a sandy mound.

The landscape garden design has a gritty urban sensibility, while the pink colour provides a counterpoint to the rough and tumble of the garden’s surrounds.
