A few photos of our recent work

I thought i would upload a few photos of what we’ve been doing.
This is our potting bench area, surrounded by vines - the old trellises were rotten, so I’ve put in some new posts and wire.

Here is the bath area, before we put in new posts and screen. The old woven mimosa screen had rotted away in one year!

Now a few photos of the new posts, screen and people working.

And, voila, a finished outside bathroom, ready for climbing plants.

Here are a few pictures of my garden terrace, with all the new trees and beds. I hope to remember to take regular pictures as the garden fills up through the spring. The transformation is amazing.

    I love your outdoor bath area and your whole blog, actually. I like to see what people are doing all around the world as I work in my own garden in Australia. Please check out our blog when you have time and leave me acomment, if you like.
