Garden Areas
Sheltering Boundary
A broad boundary bed filters the breeze before it reaches the sitting area. Coastal shrubs are spaced for their mature spread, with taller specimens behind a lower, informal edge.

Silver and Strap Leaves
Blue-grey and green foliage repeats along a gravel path in generous clumps. The changing leaf widths give movement and contrast without relying on a constant flower display.

Sunny Coastal Colour
A sunny bed inside the sheltered boundary mixes low flowers and spreading natives. Good drainage and room between young plants leave space for the planting to knit together over time.
