Michael is crafting us a beautiful garden to grow a variety of flowers and foliages for Butchers Daughter.

The existing front garden houses lilly pilly, camellia, coniferous, succulents and cyprus pine and root systems that would have been planted 30 years ago.  

Michael shaped the garden with planters and fencing giving a blank canvas to start our designs. One planter took him to shovel 21 tonne of dirt to build space for 15 varieties of Australian natives. We planted cynaroides, callistemon, acacia baileyana and echinacea to privatise the garden.

Around the back was an old orchid and believe there were a lot in the area in the 80's.

I pour yoghurt and butter milk on the rocks in the side garden giving them a lichen effect and bury vases in the ground to give them an aged effect. The back garden is a good forage for interesting branches, moss and logs.

The back of the garden is under skirted with caves which we have cleared for children to play and I collect sticks adding to a cubby house I made.  

We have an abundance of hydrangea, helleborus and duranta repens in all shades. I wire dahlias and roses to force a dramatic shape on the stems, and make little gardens with moss and orchids I bought from Rudy.

And grow corn, tomatoes, herbs, eggplant, sweet potato, zucchini, blueberries, avocado, figs, lettuces, capsicums and peppers in our vegetable garden.
