You’ve made the move into your new spacious home which has been carefully designed and kitted out with your favourite furniture, but what about the garden?
- Do you love a tropical escape?
- A water-friendly native?
- An English cottage heritage feel?
- A succulent paradise?
These are some of the more common gardens we love to love here in Perth… but maybe you want to create something a bit different in your backyard? We’ve found some fun and quirky ideas that could transform your backyard into the talk of the neighbourhood!!
Create Some Magic
Think big and go small… with so many large open play-spaces and parks in Jindowie for the kids to run loose, why not create a miniature wonderland for them in your own backyard?
With creativity and planning you can create a space that is just a little bit magic, encourages imaginative play and helps them learn a bit more about nature.

What do you need for a fairy or gnome wonderland?
- Every fairy garden needs a few paths, bridges and special rocks for its whimsical inhabitants to sit for a while… don’t forget a magical doorway too (or even a full house if you want to get fancy!).
- Some textural ‘environments’ such as little ponds, sand pits and pebble walkways always make for a fun time.
- A bird feeder and bath. Did you know birds are the best friends of fairies and gnomes? We think they use them as flying transport too…
- Get the kids involved! Painting some shells, making little signs… they’re limited only by their imagination…
By creating your very own miniature Field of Dreams, “if you build it, they will come…”

Besides a fully equipped herb and veggie garden, you can also add in a couple of must-haves to complete the foodie fantasy!
