Living Pictures by Tony Stanton
Tony will be discussing the requirements for a drought tolerant garden. This includes soil preparation which is the foundation of any good garden and is the most misunderstood and poorly executed part of most garden installations. Tony will look at plant selection and irrigation design as well as the tricks to make small gardens look larger and ways to make large gardens interesting.
Living Pictures by Tony Stanton is Adelaide's largest dedicated garden design company. With five garden designers we are able to look after home owners right across Greater Adelaide. We have been designing low maintenance, low water-use gardens for seventeen years. Over that time we have implemented new practices and new technologies to keep pace with the state of the art in water conservation in the garden. We continually research new plants ,technologies and soil science to ensure that our gardens are well able to flourish in Adelaide's hot summers.
