This gardening adventure enlisted to help of Nicola, Chris and Theresa, (and Chris's 2 boys). The project was to build steps and a retaining area in the cleared bush on the hillside at the rear of the property. We recycled timber from the demolition of our carport to retain the soil and pickets to hold them in place. Once the steps were in place and bucket loads of soil emptied into them, we planted a selection of Native ground covers and shrubs in the area to the right of the steps.
Once completed, we relaxed whilst devouring a number of cake varieties, cheeses, half a watermelon and coffee, Katrin joined us for a site appraisal and morning tea/lunch.
The following day my girls and I did a large amount of mulching and spread the mulch over the new garden area. Job Done!
The garden is growing nicely and the steps are well used by myself and all the visitors I drag through the bush to see the regeneration work we have done.
Thanks Ladies!!
