Bushland Verandah
A Belair garden brings native flowers and soft foliage close to the verandah, with a generous shrub border beyond.
This Inspiration Garden is a concept design, illustrated with the help of AI, to show what's possible with plants suited to Australian conditions. Real gardens from our community are coming soon — share yours.
Garden Areas
Verandah Flower Bed
Correas and low grevilleas bring flowers close to the seats, with clear space along the verandah edge for access and maintenance. These are garden cultivars chosen for the setting, rather than a restoration planting.

Soft Native Framework
Soft wattles, coastal rosemary and tea tree create a broad informal shrub border farther from the house. Each is placed for its mature size, leaving a clear maintenance route behind the planting.

Sunny Path Clearing
A sunny open patch combines strappy foliage and small native flowers along a winding path. Low planting preserves the view from the verandah and makes the path edges easy to inspect and maintain.
