This is my garden, my place of experimentation and play. I live in a coastal suburb of Northern Illawarra, under the canopy of several indigenous Eucalyptus paniculata. I have clay soils, plenty of coastal winds and neighbours tight up against all boundaries. I like to pretend I live in the bush. My partner designed and built the rear house as a garden house, with large sliding windows framing the views. We live in the garden between the two houses in a somewhat courtyard archetype. The garden has evolved over many years now with the frog pond being the latest edition.
