The Rhaph's are a good idea I certainly won't rule them out. At the moment I'm fighting for budget so the rosemary are free, I plan to plant them a fair way back so that we don't have to prune them to wood and they can slowly move forward to the edge.
The long game will be to make some cheap, quick changes then as the idea of gardens start to normalize I can justify more time and money being spent on them.
I've put a plan and costing in for some reveg / conservation plantings that has been well received so fingers crossed thats finalized soon, ahead of the winter planting season. Also been in touch with our local Tafe aswell so I may have some free
slaves, sorry labourers
that'll also reduce costs and make it a more attractive proposition to the club.
