"The
focus of this garden is on the panoramic view, fruit & vegetables
for domestic use, and keeping the rest as low maintenance and bird
friendly as possible.
There's approximately five acres of sloping land with a number of different soil types and microclimates. This young garden is typical of many in the area and represents an exciting clean slate.

Over
the last three years we concentrated on the basics - removing lantana,
retaining large native trees, and clearing shrub close to the house.
Young fruit trees have been planted, a wallaby proof vegetable patch
created, and a dam culvert installed."
When Gillian mentioned 'sloping land' and 'panoramic view' we should have known we were in for a double-edged treat. Sloping is an understatement (that photo is looking straight DOWN from the balcony) and panoramic doesn't do the view justice!!
About 20 seed savers, many regulars and some new faces, enjoyed a shared lunch and the stunning scenery before we set off to hobble and slide down the slope and puff our way back up. Along the way we were treated to a guided tour of regeneration work done and baby fruit trees planted (labelled AND dated).
There's a huge amount of work done on this young garden, and more planned on a fitness inducing block. Great work. Thanks for having us over Gillian!
