Open Day, Sunday Sept 25th

21/9/2016

0 Comments

 
I spent the morning working on the Beaumont House garden, doing last minute spot weeding for the open day on Sunday. The drive is newly gravelled. The farm gate has been installed. The rose trellises are about to be installed. All of the garden is mulched and weeded, and the Downer seat has been put in place. I wish we had another week, but we did well. I'm exhausted.

    The Garden Blog

    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.
