Kiwi fruit (aka Chinese Gooseberry)

I have plants all through my home and yes most certainly plants work in bedrooms. Go for some thing that adds a statement whether it be a small violet plant, a succulent that produces masses of flowers, a fern to add grace and movement or a taller statement plant - or be like me and go for all types - especially those that flower. I am in my late 40's and have been a plant fan all my life. I have had to let some go over the years but I still have one plant from when I was 12 and it is massive - people do not understand what I mean when I say I spent hours pruning my indoor plants. Plants indoors and out are fantastic.

I would consider a small retaining wall perhaps 2-3 planks high this will provide support to the bank but also allow the pathway to remain clear and formal. The ferns seem to be doing well but could do with a tidy up. I would also prune the tree so it allows a bit more light into the section to help prevent dampness, you also want to take it away from the house, without destroying it's natural shape. As ferns seem to naturally want to grow there, you could continue that theme. Perhaps some other shade / cooler temperature type plants with some flowers could be a good addition. I am not sure which plants can tolerate the cold Dunedin winters, so you best contact is your local garden centre. You want plants that are lush all year round. Also have a look at other plants growing in the neighbourhood as that will give you a good idea of what does and doesn't do well in your climate. Good Luck.
