Productive Gardens

In the midst of deliveries, I spotted this stylishly disguised bath tub at Richard’s Highgate Hill home. It has been very ingeniously set up to be at a comfortable working height with any access water collected in the bucket for reuse. The timber battens blend it in nicely with the surrounding decking and wood work. Look forward to lots of home grown freshness Richard.

It’s only early stages but a small band of willing helpers are getting together on Saturday mornings to put in the foundations of what is hoped to be a productive veggie patch for the girls at Moreton Bay College.

Today I had the pleasure in delivering this fully planted 4 layer mini garden to Margaret and Bernie’s home by the bay at Thornlands. They chose to have a mixture of the herbs they use but also some flowering annuals to add some colour. By also having it on the hardwood trolley, it enables them to easily move it around to control the amount of sunlight it receives. Happy growing to you both!

Amanda at Carina has planted some of her rare bromeliad’s into one of the stacking gardens and I delivered the other one fully planted with the herbs she wanted to use in her cooking. They look great in this situation and are very practical because we put them on the hardwood trolleys for ease of moving.

This Acerola Cherry makes a nice feature tree in John’s Sunnybank Hills front yard. They are well suited to Brisbane’s climate and generally grow easily with little pest or disease problems. They have been known to produce up to 4 crops of sweet raspberry flavoured cherries per year.
Also high in vitamin C.
