Pollen is an award-winning landscape architecture studio with a mission to ‘empower communities to connect with and love their environment.' Our extensive experience in local government and private practice has enabled us, in collaboration with our clients, to realise a range of landscape architectural projects from small-scale public parks to large public domain sites. We have endeavoured to frame all aspects of our operations, communications, and relationships, both internally and externally, through a set of core values:COURAGE: never shying away from difficult tasks or hard conversations;OWNERSHIP: being accountable for outcomes, being inclusive and always ‘walking the talk';BALANCE: considering all options and viewpoints and exhibiting restraint when necessary;ADAPTATION: frequently questioning, adding value and refining on the run;ENGAGEMENT: facilitating meaningful community input and always being ‘present' when speaking and listening.Our rigorous, collaborative and dynamic approach allows us to engage with our client's vision to create project outcomes that are an amalgamation of a whole project team's combined skills and ideas; landscapes which excite and intrigue, resulting in measurable positive change for daily users.Pollen nurtures projects to evolve into self-sustaining, community-driven outcomes where the completion of the project is just the beginning.
