Susie (from Susie’s Fun Australian Home) shares the home she owns in Melbourne with her two housemates Bindy and Kerry.

When I decided to turn it into a garden, I wanted to create a calm and peaceful corner for myself where I could enjoy a book in the afternoon or a cup of tea in the evening. I wanted my garden to have an organic, relaxed vibe. So I naturally gravitated towards the Zen style of garden.
