Description
Explore the delights of both traditional perennial garden design – the herbaceous border and less formal mixed beds – and some of the innovative styles ideally suited to New Zealander’s environment and lifestyle. Here, the constraints of the quarter-acre section or inner-city townhouse are accommodated by exciting suggestions for island or strip beds and classic cottage-style plantings: archways covered in climbers; pinks, campanulas, aubrietia and other spreading plants sprawling onto the pathway and obscuring harsh edges; spring blossom and autumn leaves covering the path; scented bushes to brush against…on tiny sections on excellent garden can be created around the pathway alone. Wildflower or woodland plantings are also possibilities for larger country gardens or for those seeing alternatives to lawn. Native shrubs and trees have their place in these gardens, too, and can be stunning additions to more traditional planting styles.
