24.01.2022 A little bit of Sunday morning colour to brighten things up. The glowing red stems of Acer palmatum Fjellheim draw the eye in winter. Have a great day

23.01.2022 A few images from the gardens this morning. It has been a busy day in the gardens today. Half of Hobart and the west cost dropped in for a walk around and a bit of a shop. A couple of garden clubs later so it’s time for sleeps now.

23.01.2022 Some Splits, Doubles and others from the garden today

22.01.2022 Colour amongst the clouds at Birch Grove this week

22.01.2022 A quick update. The gardens are starting to show a little colour with the bulbs and hellebores filling the gaps. We have commenced the annual cut back to freshen the landscape for spring. In the photo set you can see Gwen giving instructions from her hospital bed. The good news is she is now home. The devastating news for Gwen is walk only on flat ground, no lifting or twisting for 4 to 6 weeks.... Have a great weekend

22.01.2022 The Japanese Maples are coming to life after their winter rest. Each image has a description attached.

21.01.2022 The colours are coming. How things change day by day at the moment. We had all the rain and now finally the sun and warmth have kicked things into gear. Enjoy.

21.01.2022 Look who made the final cut. #birgitziegler

19.01.2022 Bee Garden II They said wed have to spray the whole lot with poison in order to combat all the weeds, especially the twitch grass (Elymus repens) - but you... all know we cant use poison! We laid down weed mat and used wood chip for the paths (cheapest method we could find). It mostly works... theres still some weeding involved, but every organic garden has that. We then had our first bit of guidance from @birchgrovegardenstasmania Mark and Gwen are amazing, so knowledgeable and helpful! They specialise in rare and unusual perennials. Their plants occupy the back square. They also suggested the cypress trees in the hexagonal cells. Were ever so grateful to them! If you ever want beautiful, healthy perennials, pay them a visit (Beaconsfield) @birchgrovegardens For the hexagonal mounds, we put in plants we had collected from roadside stalls and markets. Anne, in Gravelly Beach, has particularly beautiful and healthy plants. You can usually find her stall out on Sundays. Finally, we added the bee garden sign by the super talented @sikorska_meikle And the benches inside the cells. All in all, its progressed nicely the last two years! Next post will highlight its beauty in full bloom...
