Celebrating the Class of 2025

Last night, beneath the glow of celebration and reflection, we farewelled the London College of Garden Design Melbourne Class of 2025 — a group of designers who turned possibility into purpose and curiosity into creativity.

Over two years, this class has grown from first sketches and planting plans to complete design portfolios that express confidence, sensitivity and vision. They’ve learned to see the world differently, to think spatially, sustainably and artistically, and to create gardens that enrich both people and place.

Among the many achievements recognised on the night, Cat Loxton was named Student of the Year for her outstanding design ability and commitment to excellence. The Nick Forde Spirit of the College Award was presented to Michelle Ward, acknowledging her generosity, passion and contribution to the LCGD community.

Together, this graduating class represents the next generation of garden and landscape designers who will shape gardens, cities and lives for years to come.

Congratulations to the Class of 2025 — we couldn’t be prouder.
