Australian House & Garden - April 2016_

Rambling rose
Climbing ‘Pierre de Ronsard’
roses thrive in this climate.

By hook or chook

The chook house, with rooster

sculptures on the roof and

feed bins in front, has a

thornless ‘Smooth Splendour’

rose climbing over it.

Bean there, done that

Janet bought the Indian bean

tree (Catalpa bignonioides) as

a tiny $2 plant.

Flower and stone

Swathes of dwarf English

lavender spill over the

driveway of local granite,

crushed by Janet’s

resourceful farmer father.
