52 Blessings - Week 13
Well I’m one quarter of the way through the year with this little photo challenge and still going reasonably strong. Following on from last week’s hard yakka in the backyard, we’ve gotten a few tube stock plants from the Greening Australia Nursery at The Gap. It’s on the other side of Brisbane and a fair drive for us but well worth the effort. It is a literal gold mine for native gardening enthusiasts as they are a wholesaler which sells direct to the public. For the same price that we would expect to pay for a mature plant at a retail nursery, we got two mature plants and 12 tube stock tufted grass plants to add to our new garden bed. I really love native plants and with gorgeous coloured flowers, such as on the Melaleuca thymifolia below, they make a wonderful addition to any garden.

It is, isn’t it? I can’t wait until both of them have grown a little more and have more flowers.
