I am a very amateur gardener creating a garden. It is a rambling country garden with no designer touches. All mistakes are mine and there have been plenty but I know it’s my own creation and it brings me joy to watch it grow. To put ones hand in the soil and nurture a plant or tree to life is a wonderful experience and quite humbling. My garden is not full of exotic plants,(just those that have survived a drought), or grand designs, but it seems to bring pleasure to those that walk amongst it and for that I am grateful.

 To continue to list trees, shrubs and plants in my garden would become very boring but I hope that this snap shot of a garden that grew over time from a paddock, gives you pleasure and inspiration as other gardens have always given me.
