The GardenA slice of Mexico high in the Papamoa Hills with dramatic rural and coastal views.
Quirky garden ornaments and a succulent festooned old truck in a mature sub tropical garden with a huge variety of palms, aloes, bromeliads, succulents and cacti. |
The GardenerAlan and Kerry Cossey have been developing this garden for 20 years and still find space to add more plants and garden features. Alan is a handy man and makes a lot of garden art which features in their garden. The garden is all rocked and low maintenance giving Kerry more time in her glass house to propagate cacti and succulents, the seed is collected from mature plants in Kerry's garden. |
