And here we are! Even though we are waiting on a couple of benches to arrive, I couldn't wait to share. Apart from a couple of benches in opposite corners, this transformation is complete.

This is our clients NZ Citizenship Garden. A garden we helped them create to plant the native plant each of them is gifted when they become citizens. This ties in with others gardens in their property and will be a wonderful space to sit quietly in both winter and summer as the garden grows and establishes.

I love Gleditsias, particularly Gleditsia 'Sunburst'

Most varieties sold for urban gardens like 'Sunburst' have been bred to be thornless ....... because wild Gleditsias can have spines up to 20cm long and can pierce pretty much everything except medieval armour.

So of course I only need gardening gloves to remove a self sown sapling ......... which is more for the protection of the spines from my really, really tough skin
