Front yard garden bed screening

A garden bed full of fragrant plants in the front yard created a lively feature and partitioning from the street.

The project

 

I planted a port wine magnolia at each end with Camelia Sesanquas in-between as screening at the front of our property. We have so many beautiful examples of Sesanquas used for hedging down this way on the NSW South Coast.

 

Our soil is very dense with clay so I mixed new soil and compost mix into the garden bed. My yard was a blank canvas so I love incorporating all my favourite plants. The fragrance of port wine magnolias is one of my favourites and a large part of my reason for planting them.

Hi @suequarford 

 

Thank you so much for that update. What an amazing transformation, you can clearly see how much they've grown when compared to the first photo you posted. I reckon in a few more months you won't even see the gaps between them.

Thank you
