Gardens

Hi all

Has anyone else got a private garden with their apartment?

If so have you looked into purchasing garden furniture, plants etc.

Are you paying someone for the upkeep of the garden and what price should I expect for someone to water it and mow the lawn. It is only a small walled garden.

Thanks

Alison

Thanks George - it will give me an idea on how much to pay. I understand plants are very expensive especially cactus. Is this correct - might have to bring some artificial ones out with me!!

hi queenie

how are you i always enjoy your posts! see i am getting the language now, you seem to know a lot, but i am always confused where do you have an apartment sharm el sheikh or hurghada or both? queenie is there a thread about garden interior designers, i have a large roof terrace so i am told by another forum member, and although i have my ideas, egyptian styli i realise i am already getting confused and i could be a jumble and im not even there yet!

do you know anywhere or anybody who does garden features, including water, foliage or egyptian pots et al. i am a poor working woman who will not have much money, and although i collect magazines for ideas, not sure, are there any interior design students out there who might help me.

thank you for the information about i wont be able to stay 90 days cos i work in london, but it good to know these things.

Hi Nubianqueen - you are welcome.

I have bought on Sierra in Nabq, Sharm and recently went and oicked my keys up and my apartment is currently being furnished.

We have a garden and it has irrogation and the maintenance team will mow the lawn. They will put some plants in around the wall. I have bought some solar lights which I will put in the garden as well. I have seen some really nice artificial hanging baskets in the UK that I might buy and take with me - no worries about them dying. Thats about all that I am going to do to the garden apart from the furnishing which my local furniture man will sort out for me.

I also started this thread http://www.propertycommunity.com/forum/egypt...4-gardens.html

I will do some digging - excuse the pun lol

hi queenie

thank you i was wondering how to start a thread i was searching, but do the moderators do this? so i appreciate that you are going to do this. where did you see the artificial hanging baskets, do they come complete and where from if i may ask? when i sign the maintenance contract will this be part of what they do or do i ask them to do this as an extra, could they also water plants for me.

appreciate you doing some digging, particularly egyptian styli.

Hi you can search for threads yourself. There is the facility to do this on the front page of this forum on the right hand side it will say seach thread and type in a topic and it will then bring up threads relating to it. You will need to contact your developer or agent ref watering of gardens etc as Im sure all will differ. Saw the baskets at one of our local markets.

There are some online shops that sell them
