Grand Designs

Over the past few months Mike and I have been transforming our garden in the most radical of styles. What started off as a fairly boring rectangular lawn (and I use that word loosely) it has now been chopped and hacked and weeded on a pretty hefty scale.


Add to that a few rather enormous brick borders, shortly to be rendered and painted, a beautiful wooden beach shack at the end and a brand new funky fence, we are feeling rather pleased with ourselves.




Stage two of our grand design will be a concrete semi-circular low level seating area in the shack, complete with BBQ, electrics for lights and music and of course a water feature. The final stage will be the shipping in and planting of a variety of tropical and sculptural plants for the borders.




But I think my favourite bit will be the little border we have left, next to the wooden shack which will be our Ruby border and it will be filled with all kinds of red shrubs, plants and flowers and surrounded by pebbles, especially for our beautiful girl.
