Winter

3/7/2019

Today was cold but sunny, a perfect day for gardening. Now all the areas are finished, I have a heap of maintaining to do, mostly cutting back and tidying. The weather is crazy, as everyone knows. Although it has been winter for the past month, the trees haven't quite lost their leaves. The old pear is doing a rather pretty autumn leafing, but today I wanted to show the progression of the path to the marquee pad. It's very green now because so much has been cut back and the sun shines in. I pruned the chrysanthemums today and pulled out a few weeds.
I'm waiting for my main helper to come back from his holidays and prune a few more fly bushes. I want a nice regrowth this spring.
​Below is a 'before' photo from a few years ago, and the other one was taken today.
The first photo underneath with the weird little bird bath is the garden on the left of the second top and the other is a snippet of the Red Garden (because it looked nice today.)

It's really good to share winter season activities with the site visitor. As I checked your album which I'm truly inspired to get know such wonderful stuff. I hope you will keep the data and share more articles like this soon. Thank you!

    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.
