Golden Hour is the landscape design work of Jessica Bell.

Jess’s approach to landscape is grounded in a deep love of plants and the natural world. After completing studies in ecology, landscape design and permaculture she has spent her time working on residential gardens, small farms and school kitchen garden programs. 

In her design work, Jess integrates edible, native and exotic plants to create resilient landscapes that are productive, rich in habitat and humming with life. Her aim is to help people find design solutions that work for their lifestyle and respond to their unique landscape. 

“I believe the best outdoor spaces invite us to slow down, engage with nature and get to work caring for the land around us. For me gardening is a wonderfully creative and hopeful practice. Gardens allow us to bring a sense of wildness into our daily lives and give us the chance to leave our patch a little greener than we found it.”

When not in the garden you will find Jess spending time with her daughter, walking her kelpie in the bush or cooking with friends.
