Episode: SA Easter Special
Date: 10th April 2009
Story: New Gardens
Presenter: Kim Syrus

Kim finds the best way to create a garden from scratch, after having built a new house.

Featured Courtyard example: Delfin development

• Over 1 million trees were planted throughout Delfin?s Golden Grove development along with over 30 Parks and Gardens and 40km of walking, hike and bike trials.
• Great developments around Adelaide have created facilities such as leisure trials and parks which help move your garden beyond its gate.
• A typical courtyard area, has a large paved centre and bordering garden, which is a good spot for sitting and relaxing.
• To give this a life, start with the fence, which needs covering.
• Soften walls by placing large pots with large plants in front of them. Place pots in position before filling with quality potting mix, then the plant.
• In the garden, height and colour is needed, such as standard Iceberg roses and low growing Perennial Statice to fill the gaps.
• Once plants are in, lay the drippers, once they?re pegged, hook it up.
• Two types of outside taps can be found in Delfin developments ? one for the mains water and one for recycled water which is ideal for the garden.
• Spread mulch over garden bed to reduce evaporation, cool plants and keep weeds down.
• A few finishing touches; funky umbrella, seat, chairs and a water feature.
