I am tempted to show you before and after photos already because the change that has occurred will SHOCK YOU! hehehehe!
But I will wait till our new plants are in as the makeover will be even more amazing then. (I'm trying to make it sound very dramatic aren't I?!?)
Here are the plants which we have decided on, and will be putting in over the Easter weekend if all goes to plan.

5 Magnolia TreesImage via here
Lots of LavenderImage via here
Hedges of MurrayaImage via here
We already have box hedges which we planted in the last stage and we have kept our two roses and the Frangipani trees in front of the house.
What do you think, can you picture it already???
Thank you for all your get well wishes, I am feeling SO much better today. The same bug seems to be going around and a few people have taken a week to get over it so I am very lucky it's only been a few days for me.
I hope you have a lovely start to the week today,

ReplyDeleteI just found your blog through my lovely friend Kerri at Driftwood Interiors and just wanted to say hi. Love your choice of plants...these are all things that grow really well in Canberra where I live..I have quite well established gardenias in pots and have just planted a magnolia in another...I live in a townhouse so only have a courtyard! I look forward to reading more of your blog.
ReplyDeleteWe planted a gardenia bush last week and I can't wait for it to bloom. I also can't wait to see your garden.
