The View of the Cottage Garden from the Street

3/10/2015

Spring is here and this is October's view of the cottage garden from the street. One less big tree, too because we're developing the area outside the cottage. The red garden is turning red.

Winter's view of the cottage garden with the red garden in the foreground - not red.

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.
