- Paying attention to the fine details with which children perceive their environment, to meet their needs for hands on, sensory engagement with their world

TESTIMONIALS
I’m so glad we engaged Jeavons for our project, it’s been a real pleasure. We developed a great relationship with Anne, Mary and the team over the journey and the result speaks for itself! Our rehab garden is so beautiful and welcoming but also so clinically functional. Barwon Health look forward to working with Jeavons in the future.

On behalf of the Zoo’s Project Team I would like to extend our thanks for your collaborative approach to resolving the masterplan. Your team’s ability and willingness to listen and respond to our feedback is evident in this well resolved masterplan that responds directly to the project’s brief.
The playground, designed by Jeavons Landscape Architects, achieves an outstanding level of access for persons with disabilities…The clever design ensures that activities in the playground are not separated into areas for people with disabilities and those without disabilities. This allows and encourages interaction in a natural way and is an example of the successful use of the principles of Universal Design.
