Zen garden dilemma/shed/grass wont grow

Ultima modifica:5 anni fa

I am trying to create a peaceful, Zen part of the garden and dont know what to do with the side of the shed. was thinking of painting it the dark grey i painted the fence, but it is still an eye sore. also no grass will grow under the eaves on the left hand side. i have put a new low, round pot and a Buddha on the tree stump now. any ideas would be most welcome. PS. i live in Hobart, Tasmania

    I agree with oklouise’s comments,bring pebbles, pavers, sleepers to add a more peaceful look, you could do this where grass won’t grow.

      think of a Japanese garden and lose the grass where it won't grow and use ground covers and paving, pebbles, railway sleepers like a ground floor deck and does the broken lattice screen anything at the back as it seems to be screening the view of the gorgeous trees

      Keep an eye out for a tree you can cloud prune, Japanese maples, conifers, large rocks , tubs of bamboo, to add a beautiful look

      Hi there Helen,


      It looks like the advice you have been given is exactly on the right track which is great!


      Just quickly, if you are looking to make the shed disappear try jumping on our website https://designerplants.com.au/ and having a look at our range. We specialise in artificial vertical gardens and hedging and you could deck that wall out with our wall panels or maybe even our Timber Trellis' would look really great in that section?


      We are based in VIC however is you would like to have a look at our wall panels you could get in touch and we can organise sending over some samples to you - it's all crazy realistic and the quality is out of this world, and is UV protected!


      Good Luck no matter which way you decide to go!

      In Hobart you could plant the glorious virginia creeper to cover the shed and have beautiful green leaves through spring and summer, then a blaze of autumn colour, followed by the bare stems in winter, which you could highlight by painting the wall in a contrasting shade to maximise the impact of the changing seasons,; so Japanese!

      But if you want the lower maintenance of the rubber plant creeper walls they look good to. Both plants are self supporting creepers, but both will require a little maintenance.

      Love some of the shots in the above posts of example Japanese gardens!

      I immediately thought of the white pebbles and sleepers too, but those moss and rock islands bring back memories of Kyoto, which takes it to another level!

      Australian native plants can also work well for Japanese gardens, but I also can't help but think of banks of azaleas and molluc azaleas. The latter will give you autumn colour. They get prunes into round, low banks in Japan, with the mollusc azaleas being left to grow tall and natural.
