We have always enjoyed gardening, but it wasn't until our retirement in 1997 that we became avid gardeners. So much so that a few years later, we upsized to our current home because it had a large garden for us to indulge in our hobby. I might add that we were then at the age when most people were thinking of downsizing!
Our garden is nothing if not eclectic. In fact, a horticultural friend described it as a botanical zoo, one of everything! It has improved a little since then, but not much. It has certainly changed from when we first moved in 2006. Then it was very much buxus hedges, white icebergs and gardenias. Now there is not a buxus hedge in sight.
One of our first jobs was to deal with the nature strips. We are on a corner block and have 3 nature strips, two of them with large Eucalyptus nicholii as street trees. Which meant for very poor lawns. That together with the fact that Keith does not like mowing meant changing the nature strips from grass into garden.

Professional and high quality gardening advice, from experienced horticulturists. I’ve been listening to Graham Ross since I was a child when my parents would watch / listen to his programs and now I’m passing on the same experience to my children too. The weekend radio programs are a weekend ritual in our household.
