April 28, 1992. Mayday tree, West side, back garden. June 1997, Mixed planting, East side, back garden. Shirley' and 'Fairy wings' poppies, mixed Venidium 'Zulu Prince'. The front lawn was removed in 1995, and the area planted with many native species.
Edges are more formal to provide transition to neighbours on either side who have lawns.
My little Maltese, Max, was 16 in March 1999. He has recently died and will be buried under a new tree in my front garden. In the photo with Max, I'm scouting out spots for addtional plants. I get the seeds from the botanic garden here. July 1993, when I still had lawn in front.
