We’ve made a hole heap of changes in the garden since we moved into our property 51/2 years ago, but one thing I always struggle with is design. Sometimes I have a vision, but I can’t bring it into fruition and sometimes, there’s just no vision at all.
When we did our front yard, it was easy. It was so full of trees that it made the house very dark. Also, there were too many trees planted so close together so that they had grown up to be very spindly and weren’t in good health. A lot of the trees needed to be cut down. Andy immersed himself in the job – it was good reason to buy a new chainsaw. You can see the full makeover here. This photo was taken quite a few years ago so now the roses have completely covered the fence. I can't take a photo today, because we are having a summer cyclone.
When we moved into our house, it had been a rental. Sadly, the tenants had used the back yard as a rubbish tip. I won't even mention some of the things we found down there. Just like in the front, the trees were planted too close together and had been allowed to grow too tall. You can see here, that they were encroaching on the house. We couldn't even open the door from our bedroom onto the deck because a punga tree was in the way!
Since then, we've cut down a number of trees and put in one retaining wall but it's still a mess. We want to make it a useable space but, I must be honest, I'm a bit lost as to where to go with it. As I said, it's very steep and I'm not really used to gardening on such a steep hill side.
My friend Melba has the answer! She’s designed an AMAZING DESIGN COURSE which I’m going to take. I have watched over the past several years as Melba has transformed her blank garden space into something truly incredible.
Melba is someone I truly trust as an expert in the GARDEN DESIGN space!
Here’s a look at her garden before she implemented her design.
And here’s what it looks like now.
