Within the set time frame we re-landscaped a large garden (partly a kind of ‘forest garden’). A few thousand (re-)plantings, numerous divisions, new plant material from our own stock including a cycad (with permit), weeding and mulching, etc.. Worked with the own garden staff of the client for they have to maintain the garden. Always nice to hear: “Please send us the invoice” …. It was the second major (we only do ‘majors’) garden in a few months.
The other challenge (second photo gallery) was a minimalistic succulent/desert garden that flows over in a ‘fynbos’ landscape.

Reblogged this on Life in a village named Stanford.
Two very different landscapes, nevertheless both they are beautiful in they own!
Yes they are; and yet a few kilometers (3 to 4) in between….. 😉
Yes – such a contrast! What are the retaining walls constructed from in the forest garden?
Partly rocks and partly hollow concrete block (these were already there). 😉
Very interesting these two gardens.
Are you working as a landscape-gardener yourself?? (like I am 🙂 )
With by background; yes. But not ‘standard’ gardens. So every now and then when it suits me and with the right ‘out-of-the-box-thinking’ clients I take a challenge. Usually upmarket projects with a huge challenge. 😉
