Jim Fogarty has built a reputation as one of Australia’s top Landscape designers. With a string of internationally recognised design awards behind him, Jim is constantly lifting the profile of Australian design overseas.
Early History
Jim is a graduate of Burnley Horticultural College, Melbourne. In 1992 he completed the Associate Diploma of Applied Science (Hort.) majoring in Landscape design and construction.
Early experience was gained working with Andrew Seccull at Jenny Smith Gardens, before moving to Cairns in 1995 where he was landscape maintenance supervisor for Woodman's landscaping, dealing in commercial construction.
Relocating to Sydney in 1996, Jim worked on "Monday To Friday" on Channel 10 presenting weekly gardening segments. He then returned to Melbourne in 1997 where he was drawn back into garden design and set up his own business.
Jim began his Show Garden career in 1998 when he designed Your Garden Magazines display at the Melbourne International Flower And Garden Show. Winning two bronze awards for "The Garden With No Green," Jim picked up widespread media attention, and developed the passion that has driven him to his success today.
