Issue 25, Spring 2026 · Maroubra

We were delighted to see Growing Rooms founder Oliver Sizeland profiled across pages 8 and 9 of Cafe Reporter’s Spring 2026 issue.
The feature traces Oliver’s path through landscape construction and horticulture to founding Growing Rooms, and explores the combination of collaboration, technical understanding and thoughtful design that shapes our work. It also reflects something central to every Growing Rooms garden: responding to the site, the architecture and the people who will live with it, rather than imposing a single signature style.
From compact Sydney courtyards and balconies to larger gardens and pools, we aim to create outdoor spaces that feel personal, work beautifully and bring genuine joy when they come to life.
