As the back garden (side garden really) has become our entertainment area and the area where most of my plants are growing, the entrance to the garden has slowly evolved. At first we used the little wooden gate, and I tried to get visitors to wander through the little path I had created. Most visitors would have none of that and would rather squeeze between the post and the car in the carport! Then the decision was made to permanently close off one of the big double gates, and use the other big gate as the actual entrance into the garden. Having the path visible through the gate did the trick and suddenly I had created curb appeal! This weekend I decided to extend the front bed, therefore leading the eye directly to the gate. Don't you think the two white pots seem to shout - hey come this way? I think it flows nicely, and I have planted one cordeline, but also needed another plant to fill in the remaining space. Cordeline...
