Waikanae Rural Garden

This country garden set on a lfestyle block in Waikanae makes the most of the local micro-climate - it is warm enough for a range of sub-tropical plants which are balanced with New Zealand native plants to retain the sense of place and ensure the garden sits easily in the relaxed rural setting. The pergola uses recycled telegraph poles and railway sleepers with copper detailing to create a dramatic, rustic entranceway to the garden from the guest parking and driveway. Trends Publishing, NZ
