Hello and welcome to Garden Blogger's Bloom day where gardeners from around the globe post what is blooming in their gardens. Spring has sprung in the Caribbean. With the recent showers everywhere is green with many shrubs and trees in bloom or getting ready to do so. The Rustic Bajan gardener has been busy with house renovations so many areas in the garden show some signs of neglect with lots of weeds.  If anyone wishes to visit me please bring along a change of clothing and some gloves. I promise I will feed you. To see more of what is blooming please go over to Carol at May dreams gardens http://www.maydreamsgardens.com/  Have a wonderful week friends.

Facial lift project

A few weeks ago I was asked to make some improvements for a client whose lobby and bar area badly needed a facelift. It was challenging because we had some monsoon weather for about two weeks and had to work between the raindrops.

For the bar area soil mix was put in around the palms after removing the stones. Boston fern and Cardwell lilies were then planted to soften the area.

The pond area I used Travertine tiles for the back wall and glass mosiacs for the pond. Bamboo ginger was added to the side planters.
