A Different Work of Art

I sometimes talk about my Mum’s garden in the comments, and was asked to show photos.

Having a beautiful garden means you have a wonderful place to enjoy and rejuvenate. This garden is where I first developed my love of nature.

There are fish ponds, one is currently full of tadpoles. Animals choose to be in her garden – many varieties of birds (magpies, crows, pink and grey galahs, white cockatoos, willy wagtails, doves), bobtail lizards, geckos, tadpoles, frogs, butterflies, bees, dragonflies, and more. She even hand-feeds the local magpies every day.

There are plenty of edibles growing in amongst the colourful flowers. And my Dad designed and built the wishing well (which is also a fish pond).

Once the tadpoles become frogs, there will be much time spent hunting through the foliage to find them. I love frog-spotting!

Here are some recent photos.

I hope you have enjoyed this stroll around my Mum’s back yard.

This garden is a beautiful work of art.

How great is that?

      1. They don’t belong to her, but they’ve been living there for two years now. They’ve taken over the outdoor enclosed area. 😂💕

  3. WOW Sandra, you mother’s garden is a show-stopper! 🌺💐🌻 She must spend a lot of time out there, because if I were there I know I certainly would. That’s a lot of work and maintenance. Thanks for sharing these awesome photos! 😍💋🤗

    1. Thanks Kym. She does spend a lot of time in the garden – always doing something. But it’s because she loves it. It’s not a chore for her. The tadpoles are 3 weeks old in this photo and I can see a difference in them every week. I can’t wait to go frog spotting. x
