b'travel to the Med with this soothing walled gardenEmily McEwan of Outright Landscape Design suggests this alternative look:Boldandstriking,thisMediterranean-inspiredoutdoorschemehasastrong underlying structure, softened by ample planting and the gentle sound of running water. The sensory experience is amplified by the use of fruiting plants such as lemon, bay laurel and Myrtus ugni hedges (Chilean guava) which when laden with ripe fruit in autumn emit a heady strawberry fragrance. Taking reference from the Roman Peristyle gardens of thousands of years ago, a chunky timber pergola in Resene English Walnut stain frames the space, supporting the elegant hanging panicles of wisteria Lavender Lace. Resene Ayers Rock as an exterior house colour contrasts with the azure blue mosaic tiles of the pond, making the space sing. Invigorating, yet restful, this dual entrance and private walled garden suits its location perfectly.phone 03 489 1331 emailemily@outright.co.nzResene Ayers RockCapri 600mm square tiles in grip finish in Black and Beige Tile Warehousewww.tilewarehouse.co.nzResene English Walnut ReseneLigulariaResene BlackoutreniformisAbbey RoadRidged Urn water feature Carine Garden Centre illustrationwww.carine.co.nz Wisteria Malcolm White07 552 4949 Lavender Lace Lemon treesResene Turbo77'
