HI,, I'm a retired florist/plant nursery shop owner . My passion is gardening especially creating container landscapes using at this stage of my gardening path ,succulents. My partner and I live on the beautiful north coast of N.S.W. we have an acre of very flat sandy soil subjected to salt laden northerly winds because of the proximity of the great Pacific Ocean which is only 300 mtrs away. The land does flood in times of heavy rain and so.... gardening becomes a challenge. Finding the right plants for the prevailing conditions is the key. Trial and error, looking at other peoples garden in the same area , time and appropriate preparation has resulted in a full and colourful garden.
This is my first time on any forum so I'm hoping to get some shared experiences and also share mine.
Regards, kirsten.
