Garden photos 2020

Not much has happened in the past year apart from the garden lighting in the post earlier. The extra lighting has made such a difference to the garden usability over the summer. Lawns are a bit patchy especially out the front of the house.

Garden lighting FINALLY

Today marks 6 years since we moved into our new house. Time flies! And the house definitely does not feel new anymore. All along I have wanted to light up our beautiful garden that Hayward Landscapes designed and constructed. We engaged the services of a local company, Interlight, after seeing his own property lit up when visiting a friend. Here are some photos though I don't think they really do it justice.

The garden a year on

Not much has changed at all in the last 12 months though we did repalce our struggling camellias down the side of the house with some gardenia bushes. We hope they like the soil more than camellias. Our hibiscus trees did not like the frost of the past winter at all and pretty much lost all foliage, looking very sickly. As you can see, they have bounced back beautifully again, providing us with privacy from our neighbours.

And this is what it looked like 3 years ago....

Garden update - 3 years old

The garden is 2 years old now

The garden...12 months on!

I cannot believe the growth seen in most of the plants - phenomenal! I love walking around, tending to plants and weeding. A new passion almost.
