Everybody knows to
plant the flowers in garden should be in beds. The traditional way is to make
some soil a bit higher. And then we put some stones as a ‘fence’.
Now, a company, Boral
Besser, produces garden beds and paths or build a retaining wall up to a meter
high. The product is Garden Wall bricks. So, the newest, quickest way to edge
comes.
The bricks are moulded
in concrete with a roughened surface. Each brick has a lug at the back which
locks into the next, giving stability for not much weight.
The bricks are not
exactly like the real thing, Garden Wall blocks have a pleasing symmetry to
make an architectural feature in themselves. The products are available in
Sandstone, Limestone and Bluestone Brown.
The wall in the picture
here is a strong focal point in courtyard renovation. The owner of the garden
devised a year-round plan of blue, white and yellow (salvia, ageratum,
petunias, alyssum), plus pots of the pretty pale pink Federation daisy called
Sugar and Ice. In the background, are ficus Baby Ben, tree ferns, golden cane
and scented Florida gardenia.
