visit my garden

Dear Medit gardeners

My garden will be open next Sunday for the ABC Australian Open Garden
Scheme. I have some notes prepared and thought you might enjoy reading
them - even if most of you won't be able to come on the day.

My focus as a designer and gardener

1) to garden within the boundaries set by my environment - weather
patterns, med climate range, soil type, seasons of natural growth and
rest and micro-climates.

2) to explore the potential of floras from similar Med climate regions
of the world.

3) to take account of our 3,000 yr history of gardening as
Anglo-Europeans in Med climates.

4) to create a pleasant, sustainable and sympathetic landscape fo my
family and friends.

5) to create a new aesthetic based on reconciling our cultural memories
with the realities of being, and staying where we are.

6) to garden when plants are growing and flowering and seeding and to
rest when plants are at rest.

7) to not be unduly influenced by technology and the manner in which it
leads us into the twin traps of self- delusion and becoming fashion
victims.
