Like the carnival, the Open Gardens are over for another year. Sadly there’ll be no more fun of that sort until April-May next year.
We met up with some of the family down at the last one and enjoyed seeing more flowering plants and the kids loved the animals as well. The shaded arcades of heliconias were just delightful as the weather had just started getting humid.

I'm a Queenslander by birth and after nearly 20 years in the Northern Territory I've returned to my home state. I've been researching my Queensland ancestors for nearly 30 years and like most Aussies I'm a typical "mongrel" with English, Irish, Scottish and German ancestry.

I never knew ginger looked like that! It looks like a beautiful place. And interesting for kids.

They had a great time and kept us on our toes. Ginger is one of those rhizomes that Catherine’s son was talking about the other week.
I planted some in a flower box once but it didn’t go anywhere.
I can relate to that Kristin…there are times when I think I can garden, then some plant or other convinces me otherwise 🙂
