Concrete garden beds

my computer had a problem and the cellphone died and the house
phone had a fault, I was greatly motivated to start work on raising our
garden beds.
concrete plates are made in a specially designed mould.

the plates are carefully transported to the site and put in place

some fill needs to be brought in to access the garden with some compost.
the truck gets stuck several times!

finally the compost can be spread , some sheep pellets will make the
soil richer - it smells like Canterbury!
And the weather is just as cold and wet -

a fence needs to be built against the greedy Pukekos who are just
waiting to pull the first seedlings out -

A second entry to the Taranaki Art Awards is an embroidered plate
made from leaf subjects with the title  /all you need is love /referring
to its heart centre

Taranaki Art Awards

One of the pieces I entered in the Taranaki Art Awards is a booklet
made from Hemp fabric, Harakiekie and embroidered leaves. The title /12
seasons /relates to different times of the year or in our lifes. I
particularly enjoyed using a rough free form to construct it.

 

Flowering japonica

the /flowering japonica/ has the most beautiful red flowers in the

seducing perfume as soon as you start walking down the path

/clivias/ and /azaleas /fill shady areas with so much vibrant colour
that there seems to be light coming out of the dark
