The week before last, ABC Gardening Australia host Costa Giorgiadis (thanks huge Costa..) met me on this rather nice Cremorne Rooftop,to extol the virtues of dry sub-tropical gardening.
Joined by proud owners Noelene & Ian Dawes, (thanks huge-er Noelene & Ian..) it was a fun shoot as you can see on the attached link and I like to think much of the planting would adapt to so called “difficult locations” around your own garden, where harsh radiation, fast drainage and a high impact appearance are required with year round interest sans irrigation and not much maintenance.
And thanks huge also to the talents and flawless eye of Master Maintainer Glenice Buck, without whom this space wouldn’t be nearly so appealing.
Excellent choice of plants! At last somebody is planting gardens to suit our climatic condicions and sites and not only so they look “pretty” Congratulations Peter!
Thanks Carol,pleased the Cremorne rooftop appeals to you and yes, those plants just “do” so well there for their fit to rather harsh growing conditions. Always exciting to return there to see how the combination is developing with expert assistance from Glenice Buck who I’m so lucky to have on its maintenance !!
