Hi Courtney, Great to hear from a 'native' fan. They can be such a good choice and when well used can result in a lower maintenance garden with lots of textural highlights. All the best finding that home when the time is right.... best regards Craig Wilson FORM garden architecture

Hi, I need some helping choosing some suitable plants for a narrow garden bed next to the driveway. It's 52cm wide and approx 20m long. It gets afternoon sun and the soil doesn't drain that well. I was originally thinking teucrium but not sure it would grow well there.

Prefer green plants to add more green to our section

I have had similar issues in the past with indoor plants - neem oil is a good solution. Cut off all affected leaves, by hand remove all visible pests and spray the top and undersides of the leaves with organic neem oil. Might take a few applications and follow the instructions on the packet. Cheers, Ryan
