Roll up, Roll up...

The Container has landed.

My husband Tim and I had an amazing time in Indonesia this year buying garden art and furniture for the garden centre. Things have got a little crazy at Serenity Nursery today as our 40 foot container finally arrived from overseas. Now we know we are getting known as being more zoo-like than garden centre, with our life size elephants, hippos and horse sculptures. Well, we have more quirky animals to add to the collection, a life sized giraffe sculpture was the first piece to make it in store today. Despite the pouring rain today Tim, Dad and the team worked hard to unpack the container and for us girls in the garden centre it was like Christmas unwrapping all of our unique finds. Stay tuned as I post photos of our new things on here, facebook and our website.

Today in the nursery

 

As I look around the nursery today I am delighted by the intense tropical colours I see. Hibiscus, Mandevillas and fragrant frangapanis present them selves in all their beauty. Pop in today ans see for yourself.

Thai Resort Inspiration

 

We stayed here at Montra in Ko Samui Thailand. These photos capture
 the texture and earthiness of the gardens.
 I was so inspired by the way they plant in large bowls and place pebbles around the gardens.

I hope this inspires you too. Below I have given some ideas how you can acheive this look in your own garden. Happy gardening. Krystal xx

Stone pots or planters make beautiful water features.

Love the swing chairs under the pergola.

Large Format pavers + pebbles looks great.

The key here is combining different hard surfaces. Extra large pavers, slate, pebbles combined together adds lots of interest.
