Colours of the harvest
At this time of year, Carol's gardens are a blaze of colours.
Sue has been coming to Bondi for over 30 years. She lives in Holland Landing, and her gardens have been recognized for their Curb Appeal by the local horticultural society. In short, Sue knows her flowers. She spends a lot of time when she's here tinkering in Carol's gardens, the pair of them discussing all those cool things gardeners talk about. Growing season, hardiness, flowering attributes...sun or shade, new colours... Sue simply loves gardening, and is seldom happier than when she's got her fingers in good soil.
For Sue, no visit to Bondi is complete without stopping in at the Dwight Garden Centre. She says Linda has a better selection at this garden centre than any of the big centres close to her home base. And every trip, another plant goes home with Sue. And usually a few find their way here to us, because yes, we do agree Linda has an incredible selection.
This selection of Coral Bells caught her eye at the Garden Centre.
Then she helped collect seeds from the various colours of hollyhocks that are crowding along one side of the big garden.
