Vermont South A
Self-sustaining Compatability!
Vermont South project completed January 2012. Design, plantscaping and construction completed by Inspiring Landscape Solutions.
Project Brief:
- to create a garden to tinker in and have the kids running around madly having fun;
- preserve as much of the existing landscape as possible whilst improving on the colours and textures;
- make it aesthetically pleasing and uniform;
- seasonal interest; and
- minimalist irrigation with occasional hand watering;
- space for a vege patch;
- to plant as many different types of fruit trees and complementary plants as possible to arrive;
- incorporate some tropical garden beds.
Project loves:
- the cohesion of the aesthetics and productive nature of their garden;
- their enthusiasm in keeping the garden maintained;
- this is a non-irrigated garden;
- continually adding to their garden via garden ornaments or new plant experiments!
