Creating timeless, considered spaces that evolve with time

Serendipity Garden Designs was established by Carmel Shelley, a qualified Landscape Designer and Horticulturist. Carmel studied and worked on landscape design projects in Sydney, including designing playgrounds with well known Natural Playspace designers. Carmel returned to Northern NSW, where she grew up, with her young family in 2019.

Carmel is passionate about landscape design and creating spaces that nurture and enrich our daily lives. She does this by looking to the natural surroundings and views, understanding the naturally occurring habitat and working closely with her clients to design a landscape that will nurture, enrich and provide for them now and into the future.
