Hosted by Linda & John Carvajal

This year's AGM is generously being hosted by one of our board members Linda Carvajal and her husband John who live in the Cowan Point area.  As many of you will know this is a newer area of development on the island so things are still maturing. Linda has created a welcoming and lovely garden in a relatively small space featuring a variety of trees, shrubs, ground cover, ferns, grasses as well as perennials, bulbs and tubers.   Here's what she has to say:

Our front yard, where I initially put all of my focus, is approximately 40’  by 40’ and over planted for a cottage look. It will eventually be quite shady when all the trees mature which is what I want. The south side of the house is full-sun.

I pick plants by structure, texture, colour and blooming time so that something is always happening. I am not good at remembering plant names, I try to but always forget in the end when people ask and I am not a knowledgeable gardener. My only goal is to create a beautiful space to relax in. It makes me Happy.
