Maintenance Day

4/1/2018

This week I didn't start or finish a new project. I had to clip back many overgrown plants because the weather is getting hotter and I find it hard to give my part of the garden as much water as it requires. Anyway, it's a lot tidier now and with luck I will have saved a few plants that were seriously singed. I took photos of colour combinations or pretty bits.

Beaumont House is a South Australian National Trust home built in 1839. I used to walk past the place often and think to myself that someone ought to do something about the garden.

In my head I shifted plants and weeded and plotted. I did that for a lot of the gardens I walked past but those gardens were owned by people and I couldn't weed for them. Or, I wouldn't.

Anyway, I finally plucked up the courage to send a design plan for the part of the garden I could see from the outside boundary. I eventually got an email answer telling me I was welcome to join the garden volunteers and start working on my plan.

I have taken various before and after photos in the past year. This garden, like all gardens, is an ongoing project.
