Diagonal View to the Olive Grove

15/12/2017

The photos tell the story of the growth of the plants in the area between the two heritage almond trees. Below are the early days.

I took this photo today. The bird bath is new/old, requestioned from another part of the garden. For reasons known only to my soul, it makes me happy to have the birds drinking there.

Year by year the view changes with the growth of the plants.

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.
