His story:
​
South African born Glen Hubbard has always enjoyed nature and gardening and from an early age redesigned and developed his parents garden. After school he began a Bsc degree at Uni to follow a career in Nature Conservation, but it was so remote from actually working in nature that he lost motivation and dropped out.
Being creative he later worked as a trainee Knitwear designer at Beatrice von Treskow knitwear who sent him to college to study clothing design. Unfortunately for Glen, the owner/designer of the Kniwear factory got married and moved to Naples, offering Glen a job to start a clothing design business there, which Glen reluctantly declined. After Glen unsuccessfully tried to get his own clothing desgn and manufacturing business going, he started up a successful construction business which eventually grew into building new homes and landscaping, many of which he architecturally designed, self taught on CAD.
​
On a 'Look See Decide' trip he and his wife took in 2015 to New Zealand he immediately fell in love with the country and its stunning natural beauty.
A year later he and his family moved to New Zealand. While working and running a business called Concrete Innovations he studied a Landscape design diploma, turning his passion into a vocation.
​
It is becoming more and more popular to have a nature inspired garden. There are many benefits to spending time in nature and a naturalistic garden enables you to enjoy these without having to find time to go tramping.
​
Not everyone has a garden or can afford yo have their garden redesigned and so Glen came up with a solution, creating micro-gardens in glass containers. Called Terrariums which are very reasonably priced considering you still get the full benefit of a Landscape designer, designing a small exquisite gardens in a jar, which are practically maintenance free. Terrariums still give you all the benefits of a larger garden and can be enjoyed indoors!
​
No two Terrariums are the same, so you can own a unique slice of nature...

Testimonials
"Glen is a delight to deal with for garden landscape design. He worked closely with me, asking the right questions to get a full idea of my likes and dislikes, which helps him create a design full of personality and functionality along with suiting your own personal style. His ideas for purposeful use of space (especially when limited) is amazing. I love the design concept he created for our garden zone."
