With a collection of bamboo, frangipanni's, palms, bird of paradise, and aptenia baby sunrose (don't you just love that name?) a sand and weed pit begins to show signs of life.......
All in now just waiting on the mulch.............
A splash of colour poolside.....................
Mulch in, although having viewed this picture we will go back and add much up to the fence line to finish it off............................

A little to bright to make out the new garden in all its newly planted glory, however you get the picture I am sure. Next weekend we will attempt to finish the rest of this tropical room and that will then only leave the scented / cottage garden and lawn area in front of the alfresco area.

With each completed segment of the garden it feels more relaxed and inviting out here, we have done well to have out up with the sand pit look for so long, like all things it takes time.....
