Well, the garden i have actually worked on is my front garden, and its
only 21 X 38 feet (sorry, i dont know the conversion to metric). Which
is pretty small. I dont have any flowering bushes except my Viburnum
opulus 'Roseum', but that doesnt have flowers right now. All of my
Dietes vegetas are recovering from a freeze we had earlier, and are
just getting their flowering stems back. However what is flowering are
a couple of Gladiolus and some Agapanthus.
The garden is small, but it looks nicer now that we got the river rock
for the dry stream, and we're working on getting some native bushes for
the rest of the yard (a few Lupinus arboreus are popping up from seeds
that came from our neighbors plant). In a few years the garden should
look much nicer, and we get a lot of compliments from neighbors who see
the things we are doing and are amazed. Mostly because its gone from a
fairly weedy patch to a nice landscaped garden.
