Pretty Photos of the Garden

22/3/2018

1 Comment

 
I don't have anything new to show because I have been working on a secret path from the lower cottage garden into the olive grove. It will join an even more secret path that will run through the overgrowth to somewhere else in the olive grove. So, instead of the half finished path, I'll let you see pretty photos of other parts in the garden.

Early Morning in the Garden

7/3/2018

Because the weather is so hot, I don't have any different photos to show of the cottage garden but I took a few early this morning of the main garden that gets a lot more water and shade than the cottage garden gets. That is changing. Very soon my garden will be connected to the bore system too and I will have far more time to do the gardening. Mainly this year I have been trying to keep the plants hydrated, which is a fancy way of saying 'watered.

    The Garden Blog

    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.
