These pretty gardens add value to any home
A beautiful garden can take years to cultivate and many, many hours of manpower.
But enter a green thumb buyer and it could add tens of thousands to your home.
Sure, inner city dwellers are often grateful for just a concrete courtyard, but there are still plenty of beautiful gardens to see in the ‘burbs.
The prettiest gardens on realestateVIEW.com.au this week don’t have eccentric water features or expensive stone walls, they’ve just been meticulously planned and well cared for.
See the creme of this week’s crop below.
