Middle Garden Plantings

Middle Garden is a messy, busy garden, crammed full of foliage shrubs and flowers. The main trees are Pittosporums, limbed up to let in light. Nothing ever stays the same for long in the middle of Middle Garden!

How things are changing in this section of Middle Garden! The Magnolia Stellata (in the centre of this photo) is nearly two metres tall, and puts on brilliant spring flowering displays.

This area is full of blue pansies every spring, thanks to my blue pansy mulching program.

Full of Foliage

Middle Garden was full of plants right from the beginning, as seen in this archives photograph. Foliage plants like Pittosporums with small delicately variegated leaves, flaxes, tussock grasses and rhododendrons are just starting to grow.

And, of course, some of the originals have been moved out - or should that be 'squashed out'? And, alas, the Magnolia Stellata is no more.
