Ex-Parrot

Ex-Parrot Pty Ltd began some 25 years ago, born out of a passion for nature and design by Horticulturalist and Marine Biologist Mark Paul.

The challenge for Mark as a teenager was that an acre of land on a sloping site had to be mown on a regular basis after school. This fostered an early interest in bush regeneration, from seed and cuttings. By the end of high school a ‘no-mow’ native garden resulted with an extensive collection of epiphytes. Mark has worked for CSIRO, Fisheries and Oceanography on estuaries and coral reefs. His personal passion for sailboarding resulted in Mark representing Australia in sailboarding internationally. He was the creative force behind the successful ‘Bombora’ sailboards as well as winning Australian Design Awards he applied his artistic design talents to a range of industries and other leading brands including Mambo and his own export range of clothing.

In the early 90s Mark re-focused his passion towards landscape design and has built on the Ex-Parrot brand by developing the innovative Greenwall Company.

Ex-Parrot specializes in Australian Native Gardens, Tropical Australasian gardens and water features. Mark Paul and Ex-Parrot Landscape have completed several successful projects abroad, see the images in the photo gallery - click here.
