Raised garden beds, fence extensions and paving was installed before fruit trees and vegetables were planted to create a productive garden.
The project
Filling the last (and best) portion of backyard with a paved trail to the water tanks. Side fence extended 600 mm with help from Bunnings.
Two peach trees, two apricots, one lemon and one mandarin fill the side and two plum trees fill up the back by the water tanks. A raised vegetable garden alongside the shed fills what remains of what was once an eyesore. Bunnings supplied the major bits to make this happen.
