Our Story
Bower Gardens began with two friends who share a deep appreciation for Australia's natural world.
Matt and Kosta, the founders of Bower Gardens, have been close friends since high school. During these younger years they both developed a passion for the mountains, bush, snow, and all things adventure and the great outdoors.
Kosta Powell is our Construction Director. Kosta initially honed his skills in the culinary world, working in the kitchens of Rockpool Bar and Grill and managing restaurants in British Columbia.
Hanging up his apron, he made the transition to landscaping. With this new found passion for gardens, he honed his craft in outdoor construction at Spirit Level Designs. He brings a wealth of expertise and an eye for unique materials and organic forms guided by his training under landscape designer Hugh Maine. His true joy lies in crafting beauty from raw materials and bringing ideas to fruition.
Matt King is Bower Gardens' Creative Director. He has a passion for art and design as well as many years of experience in construction and horticulture. Matt first began his studies with a Diploma in Design at Sydney Design School, whilst furthering his skills as a builder's assistant. He then pursued a Bachelor of Fine Arts at the College Of Fine Arts (UNSW) while managing a studio for sculptural artist Jamie North. Matt went on to complete his trade certificate (Cert III) in Structural Landscaping while gaining experience in landscape construction with Spirit Level Designs.
Matt has a keen eye for sculptural form, texture and natural colour pallete combinations.
The goal of Bower Gardens is to nurture your ideas into realities.
Whether it be a beautiful and vast native Australian garden, a small and tricky courtyard or an al fresco entertainment area, we specialise in coming up with unique solutions for your outdoor spaces.
