I’ve
just come back from a holiday in my home town of Adelaide in South Australia.
While I was there we visited two gardens that were participating in the Open Gardens
Scheme, a scheme where private gardens are opened to the public for one or two
days on a weekend for a small charge and money raised goes to their favourite
charity and to keep the scheme going (when I was doing research into this I
discovered that Open Gardens Australia is calling it quits at the end of this
spring–autumn season so get out there now while you can). The information that
was on the website about these gardens has now been taken down so I can’t
confidently tell you more than that they were both in the Adelaide hills area.
These
photos were taken at the first place we visited– a small farm with a few
grapevines and horses.
They
had some sculpture on sale and these were dotted about the garden;
a
topiary bed, including a holly bush;
hedges
between the sheds;
weeping
trees – a silver birch on the right and mulberry on the left;
and roses and flowers everywhere
Happy
Gardening
