24.01.2022 Spring is calling! With some sunshine today it was perfect to get out and make sure some copper spray went on the stone fruit before the buds start opening.

19.01.2022 New born Broccoli and Cauliflowers. Broccoli on the left side of the tray and Cauliflower on the right. Silent seeds to just 23 days old.

19.01.2022 Add flavour and interest to your garden. This photo of Pomegranates and Medlars bearing their interesting fruit was taken in early winter. These old fashioned small trees add interest and flavour to some of our country style gardens. The fruits are also making a comeback in many new age recipes. #EdibleGardens

19.01.2022 The graceful weeping silver foliage of the Weeping acacia or Weeping Myall (Acacia pendula) will make a great edition to your native garden. An Australian native from the drier inland areas it is well suited to dry gardens in the Goulburn Valley given the right position. It can take the wet winters too which is essential on the heavier clay soils not uncommon in areas of inland Victoria. This one is growing on the roadside with no TLC twenty km from Shepparton and is pretty typical of its form. Mixed with other natives it can look a treat.

18.01.2022 'Top Ten Trees'. Not the usual sort of list! If you are looking to buy trees over winter the first step is to work out what you would like from your tree and then pop down to Billabong or your local nursery and have a chat to the friendly staff. Here is my Top Ten. 1. Picnic tree 2. Shadows over the lawn tree... 3. Birthday tree 4. Relaxing in the swing chair tree 5. Sunlight light through the leaves tree 6. Fresh air tree 7. Cool shade in the summer tree 8. Reach for the sky tree 9. Picture frame for the moon tree 10. Majestic autumn colour tree and one more for luck 11. Confetti petal tree See more

17.01.2022 Red hot pokers or torch lilies. This one flowers in the winter and is aptly named 'Winter Joy'. Tough, hardy and attention grabbing in the middle of winter. It is drought hardy and the birds like it to.

16.01.2022 If you are looking for more garden and less maintenance then good design gives you both. Reflections really do make a difference and although almost everyone sees them subconsciously not everyone takes notice. It is the subtle things like this that make a home and garden feel special without people really knowing why. Even better these extra garden views come with no extra work! #LowMaintenanceGardens #GoodGardenDesign

15.01.2022 How to grow Camellias in Victoria Get the soil right and you will be smiling with success! Camellias are reliable, long-lived and when established in a good spot are really surprisingly hardy in this part of Australia. Surprising because the lush green foliage and predominately surface roots are both things that would normally suggest they wouldn’t suit a hotter dry climate. Tips for new Camellias.... Add well composted garden waste made from a mixture of both leafy and woody material at about one to two buckets a square meter and dig this in to the top 300mm. Don’t plant deeper in the ground than they were growing in the pot. You should be able to see the top of the potting mix once they are planted. Mulch the area around the roots with brown (woody) organic mulch and allow any leaf litter to decompose naturally as this will encourage beneficial soil fungi. If you have existing healthy Camellias in the garden then a couple of cups of the soil from beneath these can be put around any new plants to help get the right soil microbes busy sooner. The seasonal clock has ticked and Camellias have chimed the hour.

13.01.2022 These uniquely shaped tree leaves belong to the Tulip tree. It loves a damp spot and grows to be a magnificent upright tree with yellow tulip shaped flowers. Its majestic size makes it a tree we use in country gardens and on larger properties where the ground lays wet. The botanical name Liriodendron tulipifera simply translates to ‘Lily tree bearing tulip flowers’. This tree has special meaning for me as it was the first botanical name I learned to say. I was six or seven years old at the time. Thanks to my father who was the head gardener and horticulturalist at the large English country estate of the then retired governor of the Bank of England back in the late 1960’s and 1970’s. #TulipTree

13.01.2022 War on Waste A pile of concrete waste spotted at the Greater Shepparton Waste Transfer Station. The pile is about three metres high, seventy five metres long and 25 metres wide. Spread out at normal driveway thickness, it would cover a whopping twenty or more house blocks and have a replacement cost of more than $1,900,000. As a Landscape Designer I see this as a monument to bad design and short term planning. Concrete is durable and in the right place should be lasting at ...least a hundred years. There are still bits of Roman concrete around that are two thousand years old! At a replacement cost of over $1.9 million it makes any small investment in good design look like a very cheap option. The good news is that the Greater Shepparton people who work at the site do a great job. A massive machine turns up periodically to crunch it all up and the material is piled up and sold to make room for the next lot. See more

12.01.2022 Was expecting water but got icy poles straight from the hose!

07.01.2022 The fascinating Witchetty Grub. I found some Witchetty grubs feeding on the base of an Acacia earlier this month; pure white and nearly as long as the width of the palm of my hand. If anyone hasn’t heard of them I encourage you to do a search on Google. They are part of the Australian culture and the land we stand on. What a great thing to see.

05.01.2022 A day in the life of a Scented Geranium! This is the sort of thing that makes the world around us so interesting and beautiful. We just need a garden space and a moment to stop and look.

05.01.2022 Happy Long Weekend. Relax and connect with nature!

04.01.2022 Planting in groups for impact and effect. Plants tend to be looked at one at a time when they are bought in the nursery but the best effects are created by thinking of plants in groups and combinations. There is a lot more to plants than just how they look but it is a good start! Looking for contrast in shapes and form often creates a really interesting effect.

03.01.2022 Plants can be wonderful living mementos and passed down the generations. Our Josephine’s Lily or Candelabra Lily as it is sometimes called flowered for the first time last month. It was a gift form one of my clients in Barooga and a piece from a plant handed down the generations. What an extraordinary flower inflorescence, over 600mm across. #LivingMementos

02.01.2022 Get the most out of small garden spaces. Good design can change the way a garden feels. Techniques such as false perspective and the use of colour intensity changes can make a space feel much bigger or even help to change its apparent shape. This rock garden under construction is just one example of how we can use design techniques to lengthen a space but with the right application we find the ideas are just as useful in formal gardens and modern spaces. #SmallGardenSpaces #GardenDesignTechniques
