This Australian garden tells a story of transformation, from a predominantly paved driveway to a lush oasis inspired by a passion for native plants. The front yard is now home to many beautiful and sometimes rare Australian native plants - it creates privacy from the street and a habitat for local wildlife.
A focal point of the backyard is a tranquil pond, where native ferns thrive amidst fallen tree fern trunks, a testament to nature's resilience and regeneration. Here, a quirky lamp post adds whimsy to the serene ambiance, while established trees offer shade and privacy, framing the space for Jessie, the resident "wombat," to explore.
As we wander through the garden, we encounter surprises at every turn – from standard Grevilleas attracting bees to Finger Limes bursting with zesty pearls.
In the covered space close to the house, hanging baskets filled with mostly indoor plants thrive in a microclimate , while Wollemi Pines grow happily in pots. Over the years, she's cultivated not just plants but a local community, sharing her love for gardening in Australia with passersby and fellow enthusiasts.
In this low-maintenance sanctuary, Debbie's dedication has transformed a suburban space into a thriving ecosystem, showcasing the beauty and sustainability of Australian native plants in urban gardens. Don't forget to like and subscribe for more garden tours. Until next time!
