Itchy Palms Gardens are starting to come alive now Spring is here. We have been so busy preparing for the Open Garden this December on Saturday the 14th & Sunday 15th ; from 10am till 4pm both days. We are hoping there will also be a potter on the premises this year turning clay into pots on her wheel and sell her beautiful pots just in time for Christmas. There will also be a plant stall and tea and coffee/cold drinks. Save the date. ; ) Here are three pictures of our three new Dutch Iris beds showing initial planting to full bloom. They are such a bright Spring feature that I just had to show them off. Unfortunately this beautiful display will be over by our Open Garden. And to think all these bulbs started from one small packet about 15 years ago. Below are a few other Spring pics Remember if you want to see a gardeners garden that won't disappoint; Save the date.

Open Garden fast approaching So much work has been done since my last blog and since the last Open Garden we had last December.

Open Garden Dec 15th and 16th 10am till 4pm only. 26 Kenean Crt Mandurang. Admission $8. Children free. Sorry No dogs. See you there. Partnering with Mandurang Hall Committee helping the community.
It's been a long cold winter as usual here in Central Victoria. We've had many frosty mornings and luckily enough rain to fill our dam. Its nearly Spring so here are a few flowers to brighten up your day Over the years we've tried so hard to have flowers about the garden all year round. These bulbs and plants are fantastically suited to our climate. They parade all winter then go to sleep through the hot months of the year not requiring any water while they are sleeping. And they multiply/divide easily. As these ones fade our Spring show is stirring. ;)
U3A VisitFriday 13th April. Unlucky for some, but Itchy Palms Gardens welcomed the delightful members of this group from Bendigo, Victoria. The sun shone brightly at morning tea time as the members of Bendigo's U3A gathered around for a cuppa. Paul and I hope they had a nice day wondering about and breathing in the fresh air. After a long dry summer we can only hope there is rain on the horizon. Thank you Yvonne for arranging the tour and helping us to make all go smoothly. Paul & I both hope we got you all motivated to get out in your own gardens and create.
Happy Digging. Judy Sens |
