Starting in the wine industry as a winemaker, judge and avid drinker of the product (he still does this last bit) Darin decided to make the shift to landscaping after several years amongst the vines and realising he had broader horizons to conquer.
Fast forward to 2018 and MINT was born out of a collaboration with Scott Wynd (Season 5 Ep 5) where Darin is the principal designer leading a team consisting of designers, planners and a marketer. This last role has been actively included in the business model for 2 years and has provided value in getting better jobs and helping MINT access parts of the market where more interesting jobs can be found.
Tune in for these, and more, great tips from the winner of the 2023 Victorian Landscape Awards 'Landscape of the Year' recipient.

Swapping from studying Art, to Interior Design, Bethany still didn't discover Landscape Architecture until she was working in a furniture store and found herself bored by curtains. With a strong desire to keep studying she discovered Landscape Architecture.
Working for herself after a long stint with an established firm, it took some time for Bethany to find her own style but creating an emotional connection for the client with their garden by stripping back the design, taking every selection of every plant or material into consideration, she now comfortably pares everything back to the bare essentials and discusses this principle with Chris and Tyson.

After a false start with a Commerce degree, landscaping got its claws into Bronson and he worked his way through a variety of experiences to build the very successful Melbourne Landscape Co., specialising in commercial play spaces.
Taken aback by all the double handling in management systems and processes available and the heavy administrative requirements, Bronson was frustrated by current market offerings to run his business. So, he backed himself by selling his successful landscaping business and started on developing a new platform to allow landscapers to quote easily and accurately, track productivity costs and most importantly, save time.
On the precipice of launching BuildHub 360, Bronson shares his journey and his passion to help other landscape businesses operate more effectively.
