Presenter: Nigel Ruck
You would be hard pushed to find a garden style that creates the mood and tranquillity and relaxation more so then a Balinese garden which gives you a sense of being on holiday all the time.
Bali is a Jewel in the Indonesian archipelago and being located in the tropics offers the perfect environment for growing all sorts of wonderful plants with bold striking foliage and stunning flowers. Even if you don’t live in the true tropics as such, you can still create the same effect by using tropical looking plants. Things like palms, bamboos, cycads, strelitzias cordylines, as long as they are suited to growing in your area.
Tropical style plants are obviously important but what give the garden its Balinese identity and completes the look are the other elements and accessories that go with them. The good news is, is that there are plenty of authentic products and materials available at garden centres and specialist shops.
Water plays a key role so when ever possible try to include it as a feature. Whether it is simple bowl of frangipani flowers or something more dramatic it can add a calming influence. A swimming pool of course is the king of water features most suited to Balinese landscaping and an opportunity to have your very own resort style garden.
Without a doubt the ultimate Balinese accessory is a thatched pavilion. The likes of which you see all over Bali, A company specialising in the design and construction of these is BaliStyle Australia using imported components and thatch from Bali, built to Australian standards.
The thatch from Balistyle Australia has the added bonus of being treated with a non toxic fire retardant and when installed correctly, is completely waterproof and produces a stunning internal ceiling.
BaliStyle Australia offers a whole range of beautiful thatched pavilions including fully installed custom units or DIY kits available anywhere in Australia. For more information visit www.balistyle.com.au
