Sydney

A narrow side passage in Sydney, designed and built by Growing Rooms and planted in the second half of 2023.

The planting is sansevieria, ligularia, dichondra and violets, with plants from Exotic Nurseries at Dural, pavers from Eco Outdoor and lights from Gardens at Night. It was posted in a hot wet January with everything, in the caption's words, happy and thriving.
