Water Garden Ferns
Ferns have taken up residence along the banks of the water race. They decide exactly where to grow and I've let them live a natural life. These ferns are most welcome to spread right along the water's edge. Until they become a nuisance, that is!

Ferns and Phormiums
Their clean green foliage combines beautifully with the large green New Zealand flax (or Phormium). When in gardening doubt, colourwise, plant something green!
