CLOCKWISE FROM TOP LEFT
Eleanor tends to her potted standard
Grevillea thyrsoides; an island bed
edged with bush rock and weathered
timber; an emu sculpture looks right
at home; mushrooms and ferns grow
among the leaf litter; a tall brush
fence forms a perfect backdrop to this
potted snake vine (Hibbertia scandens);
Sturt’s desert pea flowers add black
and red splashes; this variegated
plectranthus contrasts with the dark
green leaves of pigface (Carpobrotus
spp.); a soft-blue seat offers a spot
to sit and enjoy the garden; native
bluebell (Wahlenbergia stricta) and
rock isotome (Isotoma axillaris) are
complemented by a blue glazed pot.
