ABOUT US

Inspiration for the planet and people

Since 2000, Edwina Robinson designed private and public landscapes in Canberra and NSW. Each design considers the planet and people and what the future climate might be like.

She works collaboratively on large blue-green infrastructure projects, like Canberra’s urban wetlands; public spaces in the new development of Bradfield, Sydney; and community-led microforests. Since 2019, Edwina has been involved in the design and development of six public microforests, all led by communities.
