Creating a Feature Garden
Every garden needs a feature or vocal point that stands out and captures attention. I'm currently creating a rose feature garden that will have a carpet of calla lillies come summer.
Here you will find my Gardening blogs on various Gardening tasks and topics related to my home garden in sunny Hawkes Bay New Zealand as I create various garden spaces into a loving mix of New Zealand Natives blended with features of a cottage garden.

I'm abit late to the party on planting my spring bulbs this year and hate to admit that it's the 26th of May... the month is nearly over and my Iris and Fresisa bulbs are still in the box they came in waiting for me to have a spare moment to plant them.

I have been promising my daughter for a few years now that I would make her a designated fairy garden but only ever seem to plonk fairy garden orderments in an area and call it a day.
