I have just mowed the lawns but not finished the weeding....but come for a walk around my garden anyway. These are the parts nearest the house. It's cloudy so quite good light for photos. ( all photos will enlarge by clicking ).
Ali, when you hang your quilts in the garden, take lots of pictures! I'd love to see them....Whenever I finish a quilting project [a rare enough occurrence!]I take it and my camera, and some kind of hanging device---a stick or a broom handle!---out among the trees to take a picture. Especially if I'm sending it away as a gift. That way, I have proof that I finished it, and a very nice photo to boot! In fact, now that I think of it, wouldn't photos like that make lovely notecards?
wow! its a fabulous garden. Aren't we lucky to have all this green space? I have a friend who comes from Canada two months each year to garden here because her garden there is under snow 6 months of the year.
Looks like somebody has been working really hard to make such a lovely garden. I'd love to walk barefoot on the grass! We only have paviors and a tiny, weeny patch.
Quilting is a wonderful hobby for me. I love the beautiful fabric and colours - my artistic side comes alive.
I have lived in Te Puna near Tauranga
since 1978. Recently retired after 40 years working on our own small orchard where we grew Kiwifruit and Avocados for export. We have a large garden and grow many fruit, nuts, vegetables and flowers.Our new property runs down to an estuary.. When I was young I was a teacher and particularly liked teaching art. I have also worked in the Kiwifruit Industry in Quality Control and Auditing. I love to create and am currently passionate about patchwork and quilting. I sew by hand and using my Bernina Aurora 440 machine.

Looks like you have your very own botanical gardens! Lovely! I can almost smell the newly mown grass.....
How gorgeous! Thank you for the walk through your garden...
It so nice to see all that wonderful green as compared to the snow we have here. I don't envy the mowing and weeding though.

Your beautiful garden is a joy to behold! I always dreamt of owing a garden such as this, but know I never will, now.
I realise I would be "owing" if I owned such a garden! LOL, all that work you put into it. A lovely garden such as yours, doesn't just 'happen'.!!
Your garden looks great! All our things are dying out.
Your garden is so beautiful. Thank you for sharing it with us.
