Landscaping Ideas From The Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show
It is always interesting to look at the ideas of others when it comes to gardens. The Melbourne International Flower and garden show is a good place to start (especially if you can't get to the big one in Chelsea)
The first garden we will look at is - Japan - Easy by the students at Chisholm Institute featured a bamboo water feature (Shishi Odoshi) along with bamboo fence panels. The sand and rock pavers are a simple solution. Acacia cognata is an interesting addition and a good solution.
The second garden is Grey To Green, this one by the students at Swinburne Institute of TAFE. It examines the concept of making use of our under utilised spaces with clever reference to the iconic 'Skipping Girl'. The tree in the background is a Cloud Pruned Luma apiculata, adding shape and form to the garden.
