You just know it’s mid-October in Sydney when there’s a feeling in the air. Everything just… changes. It’s as simple and as complex as that. The sky is bluest blue (not a single cloud to be seen all over the Sydney’s lower north shore yesterday anyway). The air is warm, fragrant and brightly laced with […]
Plant inspiration! The choices out there are endless, exciting and yes, sometimes overwhelming. So if you need some extra direction when making plant selections, here’s what we’re buying and planting this week as we get stuck into spring gardening jobs. KANGAROO PAW Red and blue kangaroo paw plants (Anigozanthos flavidus) are truly […]
