It's nearly been a year since Sophia's garden was open in Armadale for the Australian Open Garden Scheme (now called Open Gardens Australia). Next month it's open again on February 18 and 19 from 10.00am to 4.00pm both days. The entry fee is still $6.00. Proceeds from the gate will go to Open Gardens Australia, SANE and the Prahran Mission.
The photo shows the garden last month in December - it's been growing like crazy since and should still be looking lush in five weeks time. The garden lay-out has changed somewhat from last year mostly for crop rotation reasons. All the perennial species continue to thrive including the beautiful Scared Lotus (pictured). Many of these edible plants will be for sale in the small nursery area at the back of the garden while Sophia and Cassie will have succulents for sale along the cool, protected walk down the side of the house. Please come and visit the garden in February!
