My Garden

34 years of hard and soft landscaping experience with all kinds of projects which are listed under Portfolio.  No garden is too small or too big.  

Having spent so many years in South Africa, especially in the last 5 where lack of water was a huge problem, I am adept with waterwise plants.  With climate change, saving water should always be a consideration.

​

Herb gardens are always an interesting focal point as well as the delightful aromas of the plants.  As a result you have your spice cupboard and pharmacy right at your door step and if you are not sure how to use all of your plants, I shall teach you.  My workshops can always be given at your home with a few interested people to come and join us!

Used the lasagne method, laying cardboard over the creeping daisy lawn, covered with loads of compost and allowed to rot, killing off the daisy lawn.
