 Barbara
and Mick recently retired to a house with no garden in Hastings. They have
begun planting their
 garden
up and are trying to achieve an attractive low maintenance garden. In the
front in the porch area, where they sit under the veranda, it looked a bit
flat so we decided place two striking pots and plants there. We chose two
tall ripple pots in brilliant green dappled with black streaks and we
planted two large silver/grey giant Agave into them,
Agave have a very
structural look and gave the garden a strong focal point.
My idea when decorating an area with pots is to use large visually exciting
pots and plants that really make a statement, too many small pots can create
a cluttered look with no real impact.
Barbara was excited that they won the garden makeover as Mick had a massive
heart attack a year ago and since then they have had a tough time where they
have had to completely reorganise their lives from working in their own real
estate business to retirement and a carer’s roll. But this week Barbara felt
their luck had changed as they won Burgos bunch for lunch and then a Chris &
Marie’s mini makeover. Barbara and Mick are a lovely couple, we enjoyed our
visit, our morning tea and the makeover and we hope their luck has changed. |
