Sandstone cottage garden that originally had a one hundred year old, Borer riddled Peach tree in the corner, a gnarly old Murraya and a pretty sad Azalea.

Replaced with Buxus, Rapheolepsis, Hydrangea, Gardenia 'standards' and a dozen Camellia sasanqua 'Early Pearly's' down the side of the house.

​Down the centre, encased in aluminium strip edging are Cowra Gold river stones, everything laid on top of a drip irrigation system.

​One of those days when it hit 40 degrees. Ouch!
