Turn your balcony or patio into a lush garden
If you have a green thumb, just imagine what you could do with a balcony with a fantastic view like this one at Murray Halberg Village. This elevated space offers the perfect blank canvas to create a lush outdoor space without lawn maintenance or heavy lifting.
Shane Fairbairn, Landscape Manager at Ryman Healthcare, shares some tips for creating the perfect outdoor space on your patio or balcony so you can enjoy the benefits of gardening without the hassles.
First, decide on a theme. Is it cosy and bohemian, sleek and minimalist, a lush urban jungle, or something else? Your vision will guide your plant and furniture choices.

WANTED: Toy poodle/ shitzu cross female unneutered puppy for good home.
Not in any hurry, in fact if your dog is currently pregnant and you know the dad then that would be perfect. Then we can meet and you can decide if you trust me with your precious puppy and let me know how much you sell the puppies for. I was thinking $500 I mean I don’t know how much you usually pay for a pure bred crossed with a pure bred? $1000?? I am happy to negotiate what you usually sell your puppies for. I would like her at around 3-4 to have her own puppies just because I think it’s fair on her she will like it and then maybe neuter her after that or it could be too taxing on her body. Please call or text Louise 0276025945 or email louisemarychaney1@gmail.com
