“A lot was driven by the existing bottle
tree – what went with it and which
plants suited the harsh conditions”
JANE STARK, GARDEN DESIGNEROUT | GARDEN
Recycled bottle The
garden’s original bottle tree
remains its star, although
a Mexican giant cactus
(Pachycereus pringlei) near
clumps of variegated iris
(Iris japonica ‘Variegata’)
tries hard to upstage it.
Extra height was added
to the battened fence,
for the owners’ privacy.130 | INSIDE OUT
