Meet Rob, Your Local Horticulturist
Robert "Rob" Boothroyd runs Urban Horticulture from Banora Point. Qualified horticulture, not just a mow-and-go, delivered with quiet, all-electric gear.
Story
Most garden services around the Tweed sell cheap mowing by the visit. Rob set up Urban Horticulture in 2026 to offer something different: someone who understands the plants and soil in your yard, and looks after them properly.
That means feed programs, pruning done at the right time, and garden beds set up for home growing, as well as a tidy lawn.
Qualifications
Rob holds a Certificate III in Horticulture (AHC30722) and a Certificate IV in Horticulture (AHC40422), nationally recognised qualifications covering plant identification, pruning, soil health and plant nutrition, pest and disease control, irrigation and supervising horticultural work.
