From our balcony just now. Middle of winter.
We are right beside the Anniversary trail which is an old rail line that was built to deliver fire wood to the wealthier suburbs of Melbourne. It was shut down 100 years ago and it is rare in the morning to take a phot with no one there.
The big Sugar Gum tree was pruned by the state authority two days ago as they have a habit of dropping big branches. There was a guy on a rope with a chainsaw trimming that closest lower branch before he went higher above the field of view.
The garden was established 2 years ago.

I’ve been trying to LOVE your post @Matata and for some reason I am unable to do so. Everything about this project tuned out perfect. It’s so beautiful and peaceful looking. Did you come up with the plan for this on your own or did you hire a landscaping architect. Did you envision how this would look before you started? I have so many questions.

I loved the greenhouse but had no idea this was how the whole project would turn out. I’m blown away with ALL of it.

I hired a landscape designer 4 years ago and while I liked the result at the time, there were things I would have done differently if I had thought it through more. Two years ago I had 90% of the plantings and one of the water features torn out and replaced by native bird & bug friendly plants and put in the big water feature. The old greenhouse from the garden redo 4 yrs ago was a standard kit and it quickly aged out.

I gave the original designer a broad idea of what I wanted -- the exuberance of an informal English garden that respected its location in the Pacific Northwest. It was his idea to build the parterre in the middle ringed with stainless steel rather than boxwood hedges.

You did a wonderful job @Matata. It must make you so happy to walk outside and enjoy the beautiful results. Everything flows together perfectly with just the right amount of perfectly placed pops of color. It’s so picturesque looking.
