Its time to start thinking about the garden

With all the excitement of building the actual house its been hard to find time or energy to think about, and agree on what we are going to do with the other acre or so of land that isn't covered by the house itself.

We still can't decide what we are calling our 'front yard' and what is our 'back yard' but this is the area we will be looking over from our kitchen, dining and pool rooms and also from our bedroom.

I know I want to use a lot of Hydrangeas, some Wisteria and maybe a few David Austin and climbing roses.



I'm also loving the Hamptons style planter boxes.



We have already started planting some stuff. We have a row of Lilly Pillys along part of the boundary which will one day hopefully grow into a hedge. We have also planted a bunch of fruit trees; nectarines, peaches, apricots and citrus.   

INSPIRATION:

Love the white bench seat, the hedges and the built in planter boxes.

Love the idea of having mini hedges running along the edge of the verandah


Love the combination of Hydrangeas and mini hedges matched with a very pretty white gate.


And one day maybe we can even build a pergola like this but with a roof or a covering of some kind of climbing vine.
