Natural Habitat Garden

The natural habitat garden is finally finished after 6 months of hard work. The garden began in June with the placement of 4 large rocks.

The centerpiece of the garden is the very large granite rock which had to be put there with a front end loader. It measures approximately 1.5 metres high.

   

  The next step was to make a dry creek bed to help control the water flow in winter. For most of the year it is dry. Rocks of different sizes were used to try and make it look as natural as possible. 

A wooden  bridge was built over the creek bed and a small fish pond added.

Three raised garden beds were planted with flowering eucalypts and indigenous grasses - Poa labillardieri, kangaroo grass and tussocks from the property.

Mulch, gravel paths, a sandpit and wooden seat (half a tree trunk) completed the project. 

This is the finished natural habitat garden and hopefully it will attract wildlife

and be enjoyed for years to come.
