Jamie Durie's Entertainers Garden

  • Jamie Durie Entertainers Garden

    Audrey and Troy met through their love of Salsa.Their excitement of being newlyweds was cut short when Audrey was diagnosed with breast cancer. Luckily they caught the cancer early and were able to treat it successfully. However, they took a hit financially and their dreams of renovating their garden took a back seat.

  • Salsa Time

    With an entertainers dream, there will be lots of guests who need seats in between salsa tracks. Jamie has designed the garden with plenty of extra fixed seating along the front half of the existing garden bed.

  • Tropical Garden

    He also adds a retaining wall to hide the problem drainage area and enhance the new garden bed. He has chosen to plant trees with non-invasive roots in the corner easement area, next to a veggie garden for Audrey. Now she will have spinach, strawberries, parsley and lots of healthy stuff for years to come.
