Beng Lee's garden in KL

Visted BIL BengLee in Feb 2008. He's just moved into his new place in Puchong, KL; a corner link house with a decent garden plot. Like all "outsiders" or non-owners, freely gave advice on what, why, how etc to create a nice garden. Wife and I DID do some work, mind you, in the exercise. Give it a year, hope the garden turns out fine.



Long and straight. That's the rear gate right at the end (click on photo to enlarge).

Weeds established in patches in the firm clay soil which surprisingly was quite free of construction debris.

There was a generous rear-to-front gradient which ensured that there was no water ponding even after heavy rain.

Weeding commenced. Manual process, backbreaking work.

The potted plants were from the old house.











Here's where the garden show starts. From the pedestrian gate (can't be seen in this shot)between the two fat wall posts on the RHS and the garage column on the LHS. Step off the tiled area onto a proposed garden path that goes left along the length of the garden.




This is the open garage cum entry patio.

There is a designed-for space for a shade plants garden over which was currently hung a staghorn fern . We decided that it would incorporate a pool with water-spout fountain.



Here's a shot looking down the garden. That's the pedestrian gate just beyond the potted bottle palm.

More plants from the old house sitting in little pots along the drain edge.
