The Winding Path

8/11/2017

The starting point of this part of the garden was long before these photos were taken, of course. This area was covered in periwinkle with no visible path because it was not a garden but a wilderness full of weeds and old building materials. After I had the 'vandals' throw all the rocks I was about to use in a native garden area in the olive grove, I needed to put them somewhere. So I marked out these paths. People liked the area and began bringing plants but I didn't have much time to do more than dig them in. I knew the area would never be connected to water. The costs were too high. But people brought more and more plants that were not needed in their gardens, including heritage roses. The amazing thing about his garden can be seen in the following photos which were taken within the last month. Flowers, flowers, and flowers.

This is a beautiful garden, when I was a little kid I dreamed a garden wherein there will be animals there. I want to have a big house and a garden with statues and a little fountain will do the trick. This will be a great wish and I still think of that wish until today. I will make it happen and I will not stop so that I may reach that dream. Thank you for the tips that I have read in this post. It is really useful and many people will be satisfied with this post.

    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.
