Meet the gardeners and their garden

June and Winton are so proud of their beautifully landscaped garden that they have produced a short video with images that show how their garden has been developed and nurtured over the past five years.  In response to drainage challenges, many of their edibles are grown in raised beds and large pots, while June also enjoys espaliering fruit trees and weaving grape vines around the back verandah.  Driftwood teepees evoke a beachside ambience.
