Landscaping

During Victoria's one week break from school, we gave her a surprise... a total revamp of our garden! It's not a very big garden, measuring an estimate of 12 feet width by 20 feet length. But we've had this intention for sometime, and finally had the chance to source for a landscaper at Sg Buloh on our wedding anniversary (without the kids and maid).

The plants were decided, the price was negotiated and the date for the makeover confirmed! On 12th March, the landscaper brought the soil, manila grass, flowers, plants, slabs and 3 workers to excavate and revamp our garden. God gave us very good sunny weather after many days of rain.

We are adviced not to step on the grass for a month, to let it settle, and to water the plants twice a day, between 10-11am and 4-5pm.

The bongsai (I will try my hand at bongsai trimming... haha)

Bought this from Ikano during a shopping trip with the kids. They are handmade and comes in various designs and colours.

Not the best garden around, but all of us especially Victoria love it and just can't wait to step on the grass and play in the garden. We will then let Tom (the tortoise) roam on the grass.
