We create garden art and structures on-site and we also run fun art and plant workshops. Come and get your hands dirty at Designer Dirt! A creative hub for gardeners, artists and outdoor enthusiasts, we're so much more than a landscape supply store. You'll find our shop tucked away in the industrial area off Chester Pass Road within Ardess Estate, in Albany Western Australia. We have a large array

of fantastic garden art, local artwork, and home and giftware. Come for the friendly service and expert advice, and leave with great tips, locally sourced artwork and top-notch materials to add finishing touches to your outdoor spaces. We stock everything from garden, lawn and potting mixes, mulches and compost, to salvage timber. We also exclusively sell StraightCurve corten garden edging, a better way to edge your garden beds, lawns and pathways. We supply and install quality synthetic turf. We specialise in supplying natural stone, like moss rock, coastal stone, and river stones. Create a beautiful stone feature that will rock your gardening socks off. We also supply products in bulk for commercial or large-scale uses like blue metal, cracked pea gravel, limestone, metal or cracker dust, and coarse river sand. Don’t live nearby? We offer flexible delivery options to Mount Barker, Denmark and throughout the rest of the Great Southern. Contact us to arrange delivery to your area or use one of our courtesy trailers. At Designer Dirt, we take great delight in kick-starting our day by creating custom-made artwork that forms a focal point in your garden. We'd love to help make your garden art project a reality! We also have an amazing array of outdoor art, garden screens and creative garden ornaments as well as many beautiful pots and plants to feed your indoor plant obsession. We enthusiastically support local artists, with many pieces exhibited throughout the year, particularly during the Southern Art & Craft Trail every September. Many of our wonderful home and giftware products are locally sourced from artists and artisans. We have candles and diffusers, jewellery, scarves, metal art, cards, prints, body care and sunscreens. There’s always something new to discover!

Last night I attended the Opening for the RICH + RARE Exhibition by Artist Jacqui Malins at the Albany Town Hall, with my partner in crime, my neighbour, Anita.
It was incredibly interesting! Jacqui had made this intricate, delicate lace that was inspired by oyster shells - and it was so beautiful. She'd then very cleverly found ways of using that same piece throughout the rest of her work, in videos, photos and even an interactive piece that we had great fun adding to! (That’s my shell on the bottom left in the close up and Anita's on the bottom right) We had to write something about oysters ... so I wrote about my first memory of them ... with my Dad and a screwdriver on Dirk Hartog Island! πŸ˜‚
She had also made some stunning scarves using the same lace piece and cyanotype, but I forgot to get photos of those πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ
If it sounds like you, the details are in the last pic!

FIRE BOWL UPDATE πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯
We are absolutely and utterly delighted to let everyone know that we've managed to keep the pricing on our NEW delivery of fire bowls the same as it has been for the last six years!
While freight and port fees have increased a LOT, we've managed to keep the price down by luckily buying at the right time with exchange rates, plus we've bought a slightly larger shipment, which has helped us minimise our costs.
Our website has been updated and items are now in stock again, and I hope to have the new shapes and sizes up by tomorrow night ... so watch this space ...
We'd like to give a big thank you to Rob and Sarah, who came in last weekend, before our prices had even been officially finalised, and bought a fire bowl, complete with their own grill and stand. Thanks guys! We hope you have a lot of fun around it! πŸ”₯

NEW Cards for Father's Day + A little CARD UPDATE ... Please read!
We have some great new cards that have just arrived in time for Father's Day!
We've also been wrestling with a dilemma about the pricing of our greeting cards ... we've managed to keep them at $6 every since we started stocking cards (about 12 years ago!), but with costs constantly increasing we just can't keep them at this price any longer, unfortunately. I can't even print my own cards and sell them at these prices, let alone our other artists, both local and in Australia.
So, we've come up with a compromise! We'll keep our prices at $6 until close of business at 3pm this Sunday, to give everyone a chance to come in and get some and also in honour of Father's Day. Come Monday our greeting cards will be increasing to $8 each, but we'll also have an option for our "card lovers" to buy 6 cards and then get one FREE - averaging our card price at just under $7 - and hopefully that will help increase our turnover and assist in keep our costs down, too πŸ€πŸ€πŸ€
Stay tuned for our second post tonight! New fire bowl prices ... πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯

FATHER'S DAY INSPO ✨️
We stopped at one of our suppliers on our way home today to collect part of an order, and I couldn't help myself and picked up some new pieces, including these that are just in time for Father's Day!
Make sure you check out the last one, it's bound to appeal to a select few in the galaxy ✨️
We have limited stock of these, so I'm sorry, no holds this time ... just call in!
Some of these have only just been cut, but they're all corten steel, made to last and will rust up beautifully!
🧑🧑🧑.. and a QUESTION for you ALL!?!? Do you think we should make these designs a regular part of our range ...❓️❓️❓️

A quick escape and a LOT of learning!
Meagan and I left for Perth yesterday, with a little detour to show her where our farm was south of Kojonup (see the last pic to see our old granite farmhouse!). We arrived in time for a walk out the Shoalwater Jetty, and then we had the BEST dinner at Two Fat Indians with my brother, Michael and our daughter, Molly. A quick swim in the morning at Warnbro Beach (which we had all to ourselves!) and then we caught the train to Perth for the SHE-com | Community for Women in Ecommerce Roadshow which had so much info on e-commerce that our little minds are blown! 🀭
So we're heading to the Mechanic's Institute for a quick drink, then Double Rainbow for tea (thanks for the tips Molly! πŸ™).
Heading home tomorrow after another swim we reckon!
We also had the best coffee and tastiest toastie this morning with Molly's partner, Eamon, where he works at Smooth Operator.
Such a great trip!! Thanks for coming with me, Meagan 😁

New BIG Windspinners in store! Check out our reel for this beautiful blue and green one PLUS a larger sunflower windspinner - I'll pop a video of it up soon - it was a bit cloudy today (when it wasn't raining! 🀭) and I just couldn't do the lovely yellows justice.

A hanging bird bath made from a casserole dish lid, some steel chain, and a carabiner is strong, easy to clean, and shallow enough for bird safety.
