The Garden of Eden?

We are trying to change our block of land into a garden at the moment... what with summer just round the corner. So we've been through a whole design process with a designer... but she didn't like straight lines ...at all. She also seemed to wield a mystic power over us as things that we started off wanting are not necessarily things that we have ended up with... and are we unhappy with the final plan? Not at all! It's going to be wonderful... well over 100 different species of colourful native plants... with little pathways for the kids to rush around in and even a secret little fairy garden... (including the delightful 'fairy fishing rod' and 'bleeding heart' shrubs) which I'm sure is going to become the girls last sanctury from Nathan in days to come! And hey... I'm putting my foot down about the deck area... straight edges only... (I'm going to have to build the thing after all!)

It will be nice to be able to spread out into our space though! Looking forward to it. I'm sure I'll be posting some photos of the 'works' for you to see. The designer also furnished us with a gnome... bless her!
