It’s only fair that I give you a helping hand to try and work out how our landscaping is shaping up.  Given that there are only sticks in the ground you can neither tell what it is nor see what Jamie our landscaper was seeing when he put together our landscaping plan.

The wonders of the internet allow me to give you not just the answers but point you in the right direction for all those people contemplating getting sticks like ours.

It’s going to be so much easier when these trees grow up and come into leaf but hope you’ll start to get the picture from this garden photoblogging. Just in case you’re wondering, it’s the brown bit in the middle that’s the tree not the black waratah or long grass you should be concentrating on!

Just imagine how this is going to look next spring, summer and autumn.  Roll on September I can hardly wait (that’s Spring for us down under!).
