Garden Art

To make a garden more interesting a few artistic features were added.


A chimney pot and an old rusted plough disc.


A galvanised iron cockatoo and a pot plant dish.


A twisted metal echidna.


A metal windmill.


A rustic seat made from a red gum slab and some bricks.


It makes the garden interesting and fun.





Natural Habitat Garden a Year Later

The natural habitat garden has grown so much in the last 6 months ( refer to the previous blog).
It is looking like a natural bush garden and small birds and butterflies can be seen.













Landscaping with Rocks and Grasses

On the coldest day of the year - 12C a new garden bed was created.
Rocks, logs and grasses were to be used.
The rocks and logs were collected from the property and the grasses were lomandras and dianellas which are native to Australia.


The largest rocks were put in place first.


Some grasses were added and some logs.


A beautiful piece of red gum was a feature.


Finally smaller rocks and bark were added.




The finished garden was a natural bush garden.
