Tonya's Front garden

Garden Type: Frontyard | Sun: Full Sun | Soil: Clay I'm Organic!

This garden is mainly Australian natives, and I have been trying to make it as drought tolerant as possible, with lots of native grasses and shrubs. There are 3 well established gum trees and a number of wattles.
