Climbing rose in a small garden

Kate blog #courtyards, #front garden, smallgardens

Climbing roses are perfect for adding a burst of colour in a small garden.  Make the most of your vertical garden space by training climbers up the  boundary walls.  Use an old door frame or whatever else you can find to train your rose on.  Climbing roses flower more when trained horizontally so encourage your leaders across the frame.

Tropical Gardens

Kate Advice, blog

imageGetting inspiration for a new tropical garden we are about to plant. It’s a very small back garden in Coburg. Our client has just built a most delightful garden room and on my return we will be planting the garden. Tropical gardens in Melbourne are achievable, just need to be more selective with the plant species.
