ENTRY GARDEN, FITZROY GOLF CLUB, NEW PLYMOUTH
Fitzroy Golf Club is located on a beautiful coastal site, but its entry garden was overgrown and needing a makeover. Leafy Place Garden Design created a new design and planting plan, using low maintenance native plants, forming drifts of colour and texture.
Working with a tight budget, we focused on the entry points for greatest impact. The amazing transformation delighted the club’s membership and staff.
“The garden looks great, and we all had a big sense of satisfaction from this project. Maryann went well above and beyond what was expected, to ensure we ended up with a great outcome. The before and after photos show that a spectacular difference was achieved. Having a professional design inspired and guided us in getting the job done. We really appreciated Maryann's design support and we're continuing to improve the space.
– Neil Burge, Fitzroy Golf Club president

Before: The project involved a big day removing many tons of overgrown agapanthus, weeds and roots. Before the new plants could go in there was a bit of work! A team of 12 volunteers cleared the site and installed plants, edging and mulch. The finished garden was a huge improvement.
