SOUTHERN SETTING:This Taieri foliage-based garden looks its best blowing in the wild southern wind

摘要

When scott and desiree Kunac contemplated planting their lifestyle block in north Taieri, they knew a little of what they wanted and a lot more of what they didn't. "It had to be as far away from an English garden as possible," says Scott, who explains that when they bought the block just north of Mosgiel it was after 10 years of living with a "massive" and labour-intensive rose garden. "We were well and truly over it."A natural, native-dominated garden, capable of handling the worst that a southern winter might throw at it appealed. If it could also be "easy care" - two words that sound so sweet to any time-pressed gardener - then so much the better.
