Heya Plant Rockstars, I’m Markus Hamence and work as The Botanic Designer. My own home boasts over 400+ indoor plants (as seen on South Aussie with Cosi) and though I do not encourage others to follow suit to this quantity unless you know what you’re in for and slightly obsessed like me, I certainly subscribe to that a home becomes more pleasant with the addition of one or two stunning specimens placed here and there. Most recently I can be seen on the new Channel Nine show The Garden Hustle where I offer my expertise as the ‘Garden Guru’.
This website and all content are based solely on my experiences with plants and the information I have garnered from them during my successes, and, my disasters. It is not a intended to be an encyclopedia, just my personal collected ramblings and goings-on.
Enjoy the site
Workshops are held and can be run all around Australia. From the city areas plus coastal, hills & suburbs right to the regional towns and remote areas (including cruise ships).
From the experienced gained in his plant world, Markus delivers knowledge and content in a variety of ways over an array of 13 seperate workshops. The sessions range from conversation based with slide presentations through to actual hands-on session.
The workshops are fun, entertaining, informative and most of all engaging. Enter the session with questions, leave with laughter and a smile and the knowledge you sought.

Corina Gul is a keen, talented and award winning photographer, she’s an amazing cook (trust me), a ‘lover of life’ and holds ‘being kind’ importantly high. BUT, her garden is we are chatting about today. If there’s a rose she doesn’t know of, it’s not worth knowing about.
My first indoor plant purchase was a Philodendron Florida, this plant is definitely what started my obsession with Philos and Aroids. I found I have a love for plants with unique shaped leaves, colours and different sizes.
I've interviewed many people on their gardens now BUT I've never interviewed the source of where my plant love originally came from. My dad. I would follow him around our large garden with my keen eye soaking in the actions of him in the garden, whether it would be mowing the lawn, pruning the trees OR mulching.
We had The Botanic Designer visit the Murray Bridge Library today to do a terrarium activity as part of our school holiday program. The kids had so much fun. Markus Hamence was a joy to host (as always)... We are already planning when we can have him grace us with his presence once more

Markus reworked our atrium back in 2021 and gave it a fresh new look. Weekly now he is the caretaker of the lush and tropical garden. We are thrilled with the work he produced and his ongoing maintenance.

We used The Botanic Designer to reimagine our office space with indoor plants. Markus selected, delivered, placed and gave all the care tips required. 100% recommend his services.
