Meet Ken Lamb

Ken Lamb is the mastermind behind one of the most successful landscaping businesses in Sydney. He began his journey by pursuing his passion for the arts at a young age, earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of NSW. It was here that Ken excelled in modern landscape painting and abstract steel sculpture.

After finishing his degree, Ken worked as an artist for 10 years. His work soon gained recognition, running successful exhibitions in Sri Lanka and Australia. He began Imperial Gardens soon after.
