4 years ago after getting so fed up of the never ending weeds and bamboo grasses spreading - it was time to take drastic action. This garden is south facing so everything in this side of the house needed to be resilient to drought and winds (it’s very exposed) - almost like a coastal garden without the salt! So - lavenders, grasses, Mediterranean herbs (rosemary, thyme, oregano), cotton lavender, Russian sage, and bamboo in pots plus pots of geraniums and climbers. It’s been a work in progress but finally looks established! We are so happy with this space - and hope this view stays for many years to come.
