The New Coast Garden

Three months later, beginning the renovation of the coast house garden.
A homage almost, by using some of Mum's aerated concrete sculptures.
So it has a contemporary, sculpture park look.

The brief to self:
Use what is there, don't buy new.
Treated pine edging used around the garden beds.
Use the plants in pots to do instant landscaping.
Mulch heavily.
Create spaces. Keep beds to corners.
Retain advanced trees. Prune where necessary to create access.
Plant out in Autumn/Winter to establish by sale time in Spring/Summer.
Neutral, low maintenance.

 The beginning stages, filling in the beds with plants out of pots. These are the hardier plants, 

as the delicate ones are at my home now.

 One of two Hebelstone sculptures of Mum's used to dress the garden.

These two treated pine edged beds, meander across two far corners of the garden, creating space elsewhere to stroll amongst the established trees.

Below is the frog pond, with several stages of smaller ponds which fill with rainwater. There are marginals and elephant ear plants, and logs for the frogs to access it. At night you can hear them and 

see them enjoying it.
