This little verge in a suburban complex received a makeover this week. ๐๐ From dusty and sandy to lush and green. Sections of lawn were planted to accommodate visitor parking. New plants,all indigenous, for ease of maintenance and also to minimise water usage. The last few pictures are the before pictures #waterwisegardening #indigenous #foxgloveslandscapedesign ๐๐๐
So pleased with the way this little garden update worked. #landscapedesign #ilovegardening #foxgloveslandscapedesign ๐๐
