This cottage garden is what I want for myself. I want to go and make my own cottage garden, but it might take a while before I can actually do it. I will try to let people know about what I have in mind, but that is for another time. I have a plan that is just amazingly fun, but that is all that it is for the mean time. I will give you a layout once I finish my plans.

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.
