In the dry part of the garden virtual tour

[happypalms]

As I sit on rock in the garden looking at what I have created iam amazed. 
The garden goes from a jungle canopy understory to a very dry hot intolerable in summer heat garden. Yet it all seems to work and grow in harmony with Mother Nature. 
You can create a garden of your taste to reflect your personality, it just takes time.

All you see was basically carved out of the Australian bush, and we’re not talking about tropical cairns or Hawaii where you throw a plant over your shoulder and grows by just looking at them. 
Its hard country to garden in just add water!

Not a big wet summer, but some good showers in spring and early summer, I would say it only dried out for about a month, it was the thunderstorms that saved us, that and the good rainfall in spring that soaked the ground well.

Breathtaking, Richard. I would also take several walks there; every time you see something new and every moment is different.

I often walk up the back part of the garden, it was one of the first places in the garden I started to plant out. A very special part of the garden for me. As it grows it always changes with the seasons.

The most beautiful thing is that vision I had when I first started the garden is now visible. 
Time is an amazing gift.
