PART ONE ... Sunday 10th February 2008

The shot above shows how the unit looked when Tanya purchased it during mid-2007

During September 2007, Brett and Ritchie Mounsey, under the supervision of Tanya,
spent a week landscaping the courtyard
The result was terrific!! ...... and

Tanya wanted the 'Courtyard Theme' to continue,
and the small area outside the front gate was finished during February 2008

Looking out from the courtyard ...

The plants Tanya chose for the "huge pot"

Bambino Zulu is a dense dark green shrubby plant with very dark purple bracts in profusion
It requires a warm sunny position and regular light pruning all over
Remove any shoots as they appear

Bambino Jazzi is a moderately small bushy plant with large red bracts
It requires a warm sunny position and regular light pruning all over
Remove any shoots as they appear
