A one acre Sub Tropical garden situated just east of Brisbane. We have opened our garden to the public for 18 years. We open in November to aid a specific charity. On this weekend get a lot of pleasure meeting fellow gardeners. Judy sells many rare plants and this helps us to do more projects and buy more plants. Judy and I are 'plants-people'and cannot resist buying something rare that we do not have. It has been very hard gardening as we seem to be in a severe drought most years.

Garden News September 2021
Another month without a drop of rain, the garden is really starting to dry out and very windy also.
No garden presentations this month, it's been quite barren this year of course due to Covid restrictions.
We did managed to fit one bus load of visitors in, 45 from a church group from Sunnybank.
We potted all our Caladium bulbs and should have a great show in November also lot's to sell.
We went back to Genny Catin's to help her repot and move her Caladiums.
My Amorphophallus were also potted, due to some rot last year I am trying a new mix with three buckets of potting mix, two of composted bark and one of perlite.
I lost my second Amorphophallus titanum through rot, almost cried when I removed the tuber from the pot.
Applied for a Covid app and will have that available for bus tours and Open Garden.
Open Garden, we are planning it and the only thing that will stop us is Covid, fingers crossed.
