I think we ’re starting to rely on Joy Farrell to help us get through this sinister and dreary winter ! Every workweek she ’s send pic of another gorgeous garden on the island of Antigua . Today ’s is another stunner , and this sentence with a photo of the view !

Joy says,“Two of my friends Eleasia and Mitchell Hill have one of the most charming and refined gardens on island . One of the features of the garden is the flame nettle in all different colour combinations . Eleasia has used them to make interest around the bottom of a tree diagram , in bold terracota pot , and as delimitation plant along the external border of the back garden . She has coupled the flame nettle with other plant , like the pony tail palm which is sandwich by a potted bougainvillea and coleus .

“ There are dramatic cluster throughout her garden ; clever combinations of plant pick , illustrated here with theAcalypha hispida(cats tail end ) , variegated rubber flora and bougainvillea . She has also paid keen care to detail , clean rock edgings add up to the artistry of the garden . She has also used industrial plant cleverly to create unruffled and welcoming seat areas .

“ The back garden has been create on an side , which always makes implant a little more difficult . The back garden is put down through side step , which have a lot of visual interest around them , but the real piece First State resistance is the incredible panoramic backdrop , a stunning view of Runaway Beach and the surrounding area .

“ Interspersed throughout the garden are a collection of palm Tree and tree fern . She has several large ground trees like Flambouyance and Accacia which bestow freehanded doses of interest and shade to the garden . The garden is quite young – just over 4 age old .

“ If any of you are be after to jaw Antigua , I do a Gardens of Antigua Tour ; engagement can be made through Carib World Travel ( 268 ) 480 2999 . ”
