A garden created for a David Reid Showhome where instant impact was a definite necessity. Contemporary in style, this garden compliments the simple elegant architecture of the Stoney Creek showhome in Wanaka. Colour palletes are kept simple and bold and mass planting is used to gain the impact and effect required from a showhome garden with mass planted lavender, broadleaf hedges and linear native planting. The garden is low maintenace with stone and bark mulch used to restrict weed growth and only the lawns requiring regular maintenance.
