Still thinking about what to do with the front garden. The narrow garden at the side is easy - remove all the yacca's and replace with roses with some sort of ground cover underneath; probably white flowered but maybe multicoloured ground covers. With the main garden I am going to plant roses along the front of the house but still considering if to replace the lawn with low growing flowering natives. I will be planting grevellias and banksias to hang over the embankment as well as planting bulbs in the top garden.
