Presenter: Kim Syrus

Feature Plants:

?Golden Ash? Fraxinus oxycarpa ?Aurea?, ?Golden Elm? Ulmus procea- ?Louis Van Houtte?, ?Golden Diosma? Coleonema pulchrum aurea

• Located on The Golden Way, which is a great example of a sustainable landscape.
• Award winning Delfin development Golden Grove was created on 1230 hectares in 1985 and is now home to more than 30,000 people.
• Look impressive and offer shade and protection for underplantings.

Cabbages

• Don?t need to have a huge garden to grow vegetables.
• Grow cabbages; they only require 3 months of growing time and they?ll yield more edible vegetables than any other plant.
• Growing your own vegetables is a great way to save money.

??Manchurian Pear? Pyrus ussuriensis

• Planting trees on Northern or Western side of house will shade the house in summer.
• Deciduous trees will then allow the warm sun through in winter.
• A lot of fruit can come from just one fruit tree, so it?s worth planting just your favourite, even if you only have a small garden.
