07.01.2022 I this world of rush-rush-rush - with nobody (particularly young families) having enough time to scratch themselves (let alone plant a garden), and even in the metro area of Adelaide (inner suburb) it's still possible. I was walking to a meeting yesterday down this small side street where small units predominated, and was temporarily transfixed at what I saw behind the front fence. This little garden features not only a few flowers, but also some vegetables! As well as making this little inner city unit a much more homely place, but also a pretty and productive little project! Well done folks!!
