Early Morning in Late Summer

These are views from the area facing the front of the house. None of this is visible from the road outside. The fourth photo is taken of a spot that was previously shaded by a stone pine. A large branch broke during the strong winds a few weeks ago and now the garden is less shaded and thriving. A white hibiscus was recently planted there and is already making the spot, near the aviary, more cheery.

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.
