In this issue you'll find plenty of inspiration for gardens with a difference. For instance, with the liberal use of pebbles and rocks, you can create visually stunning areas which are also easy to maintain. The use of Australian natives can also be very rewarding as many of them don't require much water to thrive and the same can be said for many of the ornamental grasses. You'll also find fabulous furniture and tableware perfect for outdoor entertaining, an informative product source guide, plus award winning pools and spas - in fact, everything you need to help you beautify your outdoor areas is inside these covers!
