A couple of years ago, the horticulturalist decided that Beaumont House needed to show the evolving heritage of the garden by having a natives section. No one had time to work on it. The shape was made but everyone had to go back to the rest of the garden because of the functions planned. A couple of weeks ago, a few paths were mulched and the logs cut for the edges. Now it only had to grow but it has had a start at least. This first is a 'before' photo. The others are current.

The bottom right is last years' growth in the lower cottage garden. The other three photos were taken recently. The whole thing now looks like a real part of the Beaumont House garden rather than a rather sparse add on. The area is quiet and filled with birds and bees. The magpies are especially friendly, since I find good supplies of bugs and worms for them every week. |
The Garden BlogBeaumont 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. Archives
