Winter Gardens in New Zealand. Auckland Landscape Design.

Well Winter is here. The gardens are taking some heavy winds and the landscape looks a bit battered around here at the moment. Not so great for photos. Some Winter design tips include: Make sure all new Roses are firmly staked Ensure mulch is placed on any exposed soils Reduce watering indoor plants Increase composting temperature with lawn clippings Remove old veges from gardens to avoid disease Some of our landscapes in New Zealand really show off in Winter. Check out the Pukeiti Gardens in New Plymouth. NZ. Link to Pukeiti Gardens for a look at the amazing display of Rhododendrons.
