The Garden...A Work In Progress Vol 2

Since our return from holiday we have spent 3 days visiting nurseries, spending our Christmas money from parents on two car loads of native plants, then in the garden planting and staining the deck.  This is at the bottom of the deck with native trees, shrubs and grasses.
 

The lily corner - canna lilies in the ground and a poor knights lily in the wine barrel tub.  The top half of the deck has been stained, just the base to do at some point.






Down the side of the deck we have planted nikau palms and bromeliads.






Whilst in the bottom corner we have the start of a fernery, along with cabbage trees and flaxes.  A few more spaces to fill, along with mulching the whole area and putting some stepping stones for a path way through.
