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!

LOOK FOR THE HELPERS! ✨
This is a special little shout-out to all the people who help us on our big nights!
It takes a lot to organise an Open Night, especially when you have 120 people coming!
So we'd like to thank the people that help make it possible.
Thank you to .cafeandcatering for the scrumptious soups, the amazing array of bread (the japaleno and cheddar was to die for!) and the delicious assortment of egg cups and sausage pinwheels! 😋 It was just perfect on such a chilly night.
Georgia and Molly did a fabulous job of serving everyone, plus some of our artists helped out too, so thank you to Meagan, Bronte (those cheesecake brownies are the BEST!), Jackie and Ron, for helping get things organised and looking after customers 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 👏🏻👏🏻 Thanks also to Meagan for running her wonderful Miniature Art workshop and to Chris for doing a spot of plein air painting and sketching during the Trail 👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you to the amazing Team Clarke, with Ian working the bar and Tania checking everyone in on the night 👏🏻👏🏻
A massive thanks to Jodie, the displays were especially amazing this year! - and she always keeps her cool while we're serving countless customers on the night 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I must also say thank you to Ronnie and my Mum and Dad for all their help. They pretty much escaped the photos, but that's Dad holding a big platter of food - I can tell from the hands in the pic! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I've also included a photo of Georgia and Rebecca at the soup station, as Rebecca usually helps us out at our Open Nights, but this year we gave her the night off while we could - so it was good to still see her in the thick of it!
And, of course, we need to thank for all the fabulous photos on the night! 🔥✨

AMAZING MIXED MEDIA
Don't forget to come and see the marvellous display of work by Kerri Blades Visual Art
This year she's exhibiting original works, prints and the most incredible collection of dried clay creations. These have proven very popular, especially her swimming ladies and sheep! - and she's presented them in so many gorgeous ways ... in boxes, on rocks, on aged timber, and SO much more!

Visit Designer Dirt this Sunday! We're Venue #38 on the Art Trail.

RUSTY CACTUS SCULPTURES, PLANTERS + MOZZIE COIL HOLDERS
Here's Ron putting the finishing touches on his cactus mozzie coil holders. He's created the most wonderful assortment of sculptures this year, and we were utterly delighted when one of his big cacti sold earlier this week!
We always look forward to seeing Ron's work and we must also say a big thank you for all his help leading up to the Trail (along with his wonderful wife, Jodie!)
Come and see Ron's sculptures, and SO MUCH MORE at Designer Dirt during the Southern Art & Craft Trail

MINIATURE SHELLS, GEM STONES + WILDFLOWERS
Did you know that Meagan Gardiner has been creating her stunning miniature artworks for nearly THIRTY years! It certainly helps explain why she's so incredibly skilled and creates such utterly amazing pieces. I loved being there while she ran a workshop in our home recently. She shares her skills and knowledge so freely.
Come and see her wonderful work at Designer Dirt during the Southern Art & Craft Trail
It's on until this Sunday.
Thanks again to Jenny - Commercial and Event Photographer Albany WA for the fabulous photos she took at our Open Night

GEL PRINTS, RUSTED WORKS + CORTEN FLOWERS
Tonight we're featuring another eclectic exhibition of works at Designer Dirt for the Southern Art & Craft Trail ... this time by me!
I always work to a colour theme with my gel prints, as they look so much nicer in a grouping. This year I chose to work with coppers and blues, as I was also doing rust painted works, and I thought they'd go together quite nicely!
I've also made two different flower designs in Corten steel, with Pete's help this year. One I'm calling an Everlasting ... I'm still trying to name the one with stamens ... if anyone has any suggestions?!?
I also have places available i my Gel Printing workshop on Saturday if anyone is keen! 😁
Many thanks to Jenny - Commercial and Event Photographer Albany WA - and also Ann & Tom and Regional Arts WA for the fabulous photos!
