WOAH MAN!

So in the past i have designed a family friends garden for them, and to initial success a heat wave decided to come along and massacre some of the plants including a $160 Bangalow Palm. Well i went to my Aunties for Christmas Eve dinner. She and my uncle once had a magnificent garden, in fact people used to get married in it. Well since the drought it has become baron and brown. My uncle said to me that he wants to redo much of it with drought tolerant plants; however he has little knowledge of such plants. He implied he wanted me to design a new garden, both front and back. I don’t think it will be difficult but there a few areas needing some love. I asked for some sort of figure as to how much he would want to spend. He didn’t give an exact amount however he did say this. "Well if you spent, 10 grand on a garden, it’d probably put more than 10 grand of value on the house." So I’m not sure if he is giving me a budget of $10,000. But if so that would be rather AMAZING! I might post my designs when I get around to it.
