The House and Gardens
After a visit to the Melbourne Garden Expo we returned home with many plants who needed a new home and today seemed like a perfect day to plant them. The gardens are looking fantastic at the moment with color and scent everywhere you explore. In fact the gardens are looking so great at the moment that we’ve been included in a new book focusing on gardens of the goldfields. We’ve had a photographer come out to get some early Spring shots and should have more info on the book in a couple of weeks. Aside from planting our purchases, most of our time has been spent maintaining the gardens or working on our renovations.
Leigh is curently stripping cement render off some walls in the old servants quarters using a scrubbing brush and (diluted) hydrochloric acid. He expects to be finished in the next 3-4 hundred years. We’ll have some photos of this work up in the next couple of days. The image above shows us enjoying the gardens just before Spring – the hedge in the foreground is now so think you can’t see through it! This image is one of the shots from our GMTM testimonial board.
