How does the deposit work and how do I get it back?
Where normal Garden Designs can cost thousands, Hello Hello Plants is offering a FREE tailor-made, one-on-one garden design with Chris when you purchase your plants from us.
You only have to pay a deposit prior to your appointment, and you will be entitled to your one-on-one Garden Design with Chris. A 20 minute consultation requires a deposit of $50 and a 45 minute consultation is $100.
You will then come away with a clear action plan for your garden, including a complete list of the plants you need within your specified budget and a clear idea of exactly what needs to be done to transform your garden.
When you purchase your plants on the same day following your Garden Design, your deposit will be deducted from the total, effectively being refunded. A $50 deposit refund requires a minimum spend of $250, and a $100 deposit refund requires a minimum spend of $500. If the purchase of the plants is done on a different day, the deposit will not be deducted.
If you have a change of mind and don’t go ahead with the garden design, or want time to think about it, you can still purchase other plants and garden supplies from us worth the required value or more, and we will credit you back the deposit!

Our Garden Design Philosophy
The key to having a great garden that you love is not dependent on how hard you work or how much you spend, it’s the quality of the design.Read More
Chris and his team have for many years had a garden design service to assist our customers. Chris’ unique design philosophy ensures that all Victorians can have a beautifully functional garden that they love no matter the budget, gardening skills or knowledge. The key is design. Chris believes that everyone has their garden buried deep in their mind and it is just a matter of unearthing their likes, dislikes, their objectives and needs. The first step is to fill in our unique Garden Design Questionnaire, and while you are answering the questions you are actively starting to design your own garden.Garden Design Case Study
Zenadia & Aaron had just moved into a new house and completed the hard landscaping at the front. They noticed that most of the houses in the street had very average gardens and they wanted something special. But being at the end of their build they were on a tight budget.Continue reading …
They found our free garden design offer on Google, filled in our garden design questionnaire, and made an appointment to come into the nursery and get a design by Chris. They wanted something a little bit Zen with a Japanese influence that would go with their very modern house. Chris helped them design a very simple colourful garden that would be very easy for them to construct themselves. Aaron owns his own construction company Transformer Homes and is quite handy when it comes to building! Both Aaron and Zenadia were able to build their own garden to save costs on labour. But if you don’t have the time or the ability to do the hard labour, we can recommend economically priced landscapers to assist you in completing your garden. Chris supplied them with an action plan and a design. The plants were delivered and with no more than a day’s hard work their garden was complete. With Aaron supervising Zenadia they were able to put together the garden themselves at a budget of under $2,000. If they had hired a landscaper their garden could have cost upward of $6,000 for design, labour and materials. In terms of costs, the plants were $1,450, Aaron spent $450 on pebbles, mulch & edging, and the design and their labour were free! No matter what your budget, if you need a garden design for a new property, a balcony, a commercial development, or an old garden in need of renewal, we’re here to help!Click here to take the Garden Design Questionnaire and get the process started
