Our Country Garden

While many of you are preparing for Christmas 

in a cold, wet and sometimes snowy

environment here in Australia

we are in the height of Summer and this is when our garden

puts on its best display for the year so before

I get busy with Christmas cooking etc.

I'll share some of our garden with you

and for all of you garden and tree lovers and out there here

is something to enjoy.

 There is so much beauty within the fenced are as well as

beyond the gate looking out into the bush, the creek and the

magnificent trees.

The garden within the fenced area is huge and over the

11 years that we have lived here we have planted many trees

mainly the more deciduous types which provide

Summer shade and Winter sun to our rambling

country garden.

 The bird life is extraordinary as the bush surrounding

the garden provides the perfect environment

for the small and larger birds as well

as there is access to permanent water in local dams

and in our creek running along our boundary.

This delightful little garden room provides the perfect spot

to meditate, take in all the beautiful Winter sunshine
 and 
take in all the beauty which

surrounds us in every direction.

The front of this little room created totally from recycled timber and windows is graced with a white wisteria

interlaced with these 3 metre high Holly Hocks

at one end of the verandah

  

 and this pretty mauve clematis at the other end

 

 

 

 

 with roses in between.

 A tree haven interspersed with flower beds,

native irises, May bushes, Lavender bushes

and Orange Blossoms!

 

 Climbing roses, Abutilons all intermingling

and co-existing happily together.

 

 

 The Fox Gloves drop their seed heads and

every Spring season we wonder

what the colours might be!

 

 

 

 

 

 So many places to wander, to sit and to breathe in

the beauty in such peaceful surroundings

where all you can hear is bird sound

all day long!

 

 I wish everybody could enjoy this experience

which is so healing for the soul! -

especially at this time of year when so many

of us get caught up in the "must dos" for Christmas.

Don't forget to take time out to smell the roses 
if you can

or

sit by that cosy fire lingering a little longer to just breathe

and relax! You deserve that for yourself!

Thank you for coming around the garden with me today!
