My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

New Feature Plant

12 years ago

Just had to show you.Pictures don't do it justice. It's a Dicksonia Antartica or Australian Tree fern.The fronds are about 2 yards across.

When I ordered it from the Netherlands,I said to give me a nice one.They did! I think I got the size up from what I ordered. Very happy,very architectural.

The bed it is in is all new Hostas,Queen of the seas,Marilyn Monroe,Lakeside Shore Master,Guacamole and a few others.Hopefully it will look fabulous when they mature in a few years.

I am going to attempt to overwinter it on a tereace. It.It can take to -12C.

The grass is all ratty,waiting for Daffs and tulips to die back so I can clean up lawn area.
It looks much better in person.

There are beds all around the perimeter of the yard.

Am off to the states in a week,I planed my trip around when the hostas were growing can you believe it? Hope to see lots of the American hostas.
