New Spring and Summer Growth

15/11/2016

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.

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.
