A Bit of New Zealand in England

Creative design for an unusual effect

Today ’s photos come from Russ Plank .

I live on in Marlborough , Wiltshire , in England . I survive in New Zealand for 10 age and wanted to bring in a minuscule bit of New Zealand into my garden by embed a tree fern , ferns , flaxes , grasses , and my favorite — lancewood(Pseudopanax crassifolius , Zones 8–10 ) . Also , I wanted to make it fun and colorful , so I add lots of fence nontextual matter , planting pots , and containers . I also have a orotund tile garden wall , an idea I got when I was in Greece .

visible radiation - colored gravel mulch , abundant art hung on the fencing , and a brilliantly color set of table and chairs give this garden a very bright , cheerful look that is in staring demarcation to the dark green trees seeable over the top of the fence .

This paint blue ladder hung with container of pollyannaish annual livens up part of the fence .

Quirky shelving topped with garden prowess and many modest pots of flowering annuals contribute to the merriment in the garden .

A second of New Zealand in the garden , with a Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree fern ( Dicksonia , Zones 9–10 ) and a clump of New Zealand flax ( Phormium , Zones 8–10 ) .

Often we see annuals group together in large locoweed , but this is another beautiful way to exhibit them , with each change in its own pot and arranged on ledge like a collection of beautiful pieces of nontextual matter .

This garden really creates an strange issue , quite unlike from what we might think of as a traditional English garden . No matter where you live and garden , you may create a full range of different belief in the garden simply by your option of plant and landscaping materials .
