Six months on, the coastal garden at Buckleton Beach (which includes a living roof) has grown really well.
The planting plan was simple and aimed to create a strong frontage of hardy, easily maintained species for this holiday home with room to park the boat and for visual interest when viewed from the deck above.
The mix of native and the occasional Australian ground cover (to link with existing large gum tree in front yard) have grown well and should in time reflect relatively well the original concept. The photo below is a conceptual montage of what we imagined the front terrace might look like.
This photo below shows the scenario six months after planting - not bad.
The living roof is doing really well with most plants surviving the summer and spreading across the roof to create a striped carpet of hardy coastal natives.
and what a stunning location made even more special with the use of coastal species which fit with the context of the garden.
