Our Story
About Botanic Resources
Founded on Passion & Expertise
Botanic Resources was established in 2002 by David Hawkes — a qualified landscape gardener, horticulturalist and designer with over 15 years of industry experience. Having worked across Hobart, Perth, Brisbane, and as a landscape designer in Edinburgh (UK) for two years, David brings an international perspective to Tasmanian gardens.
We transform garden concepts into established, attractive landscapes by working with blueprints from skilled landscape architects and guiding the design through to completion. From large commercial premises to exquisite private gardens, no project is too big or too small.
We also contract specialists for building works such as retaining walls and large-scale excavation, ensuring every aspect of your project is handled by the right expert.
"No matter your site, we can create the garden that you deserve."
— David Hawkes, Founder
