THE 10/12  SLOPE

In 2017 we added more paths to the slope below No12 Belah Street and into No 10 (which is adjacent and behind).  We also put in a tank site to get water from the house at No 12 and opened up the path from No 12 to the new paths.

In May 2017, I bought 60 Eremophilas in small pots and planted them one metre apart in the earth that had been moved for the paths.  We then put in sleepers on the downhill side, filled it with soil and mulched the new garden beds with sugar cane mulch.  With good follow up rain, most of the Eremophilas survived.  I did water them over the dry winter/early spring before we had good rain in October/November.

THE LITTLE CHAPEL

In 2020 Jim started work on the Little Chapel, which is the site of our old shed.  The doors and windows are re-cycled and Jim made the cut outs in the front gable.  We are hoping it will offer shelter from rain for any forthcoming weddings.

THE NURSERY

In October 2019 Jim started to build a new orchid house of steel mesh on the arena and finished it complete with watering system in early December.  I repotted all the large orchids into separate pots and baskets and numbered them for identification and sale.

Winter 2023:We moved the bush houses from the Western side down to the arena and re-built it the same as the orchid bush house.  Jim then leveled in front of the two small bush houses and did the same for the fairy garden with plans to pave the 3 areas.  I set up the new bush house with plants from the garden and did a lot of propagating.
