Hibernate Collection

Founded in 1994, Secret Gardens is a renowned Sydney landscape design and construction company. Its interdisciplinary team of landscape architects, designers, landscape construction specialists, and experienced horticulturists presents a holistic approach to creating outdoor environments. They established Hibernate out of necessity, arising from the team's quest for high-quality lightweight pots that suited their projects and clients. Handcrafted and designed in-house, Hibernate showcases a range of products, including pots, fire drums, and decorative numbers and letters.

The collaboration with Secret Gardens ensures that every product in the Hibernate range meets the highest standards of design and durability. Designed from high-quality marine-grade fibreglass, their range of handcrafted pots is exceptionally durable while remaining lightweight and UV resistant. The collection includes a variety of shapes and 3 to 4 different sizes to suit a wide range of spaces. It comes in contemporary colours - Stone, Slate, Salt and Clay, aspiring to integrate into modern and traditional environments.

With watertight construction, they are ideal for indoor use while versions equipped with drainage holes are suitable for external areas. Both formats provide versatile solutions for personal gardens and balconies, hotel courtyards, or work spaces, adding a sense of calm and elegance to each project.
