The magnolia will grow to a height of 3 metres, providing shade
and those lovely trademark rust coloured leaves.

Lomandra tanika features again at the back of the house,
framing freshly laid Sir Walter Buffalo turf.
The gorgeous sandstone wall is reclaimed dimension stone.

Budding Lillypilly (Syzygium paniculatum dwarf variety) has been planted in raised garden beds along the back and side fence.
The plants in full sun are already in bloom.
Come spring, this garden will be a lovely place for relaxing and entertaining.
