Landscaping for Makana Confections, Kerikeri
The gardens surrounding the Makana Chocolate Factory and Café combine a mix of hedging plants and flowering shrubs. The low clipped hedges of Michelia and Eugenia provide screening of passing vehicles and a sense of enclosure for the outdoor patio. The new growth of the Eugenia hedge ties in nicely with the copper tones on the building. The shrubs planted in the raised garden are a mix of fragrant and colourful flowering shrubs, many of which are kept clipped into balls. The use of Tibouchina Groovy Bay and Moonstruck, Blue Moon and Carolyn provide vivid splashes of pink and purple flowers.
