19.01.2022 The Mawson Lakes UniSA Community Garden is looking magnificent. Flowers are blooming and the leaves on the fruit trees have yet to change colour and fall. The garden club wicking bed has been revamped and we have planted one lone broccoli plant amongst the calendula, holly hocks, basil and parsley, but maybe we'll add a cauliflower seedling beside it. Stay well, take care and enjoy this magnificent autumn weather ... great days for gardening.

19.01.2022 In case you cant guess this is a magic bean plant (castanospermum australe)! It is an Australian native coastal rainforest tree and can grow to 40mtrs in the right conditions. It makes an ideal indoor plant and will tolerate low light to full sun and makes an impressive display when a number of beans are planted in a pot.
