Australian Garden Visit - Post Two Diversity Garden

Australian Garden - Diversity Garden

Diversity Garden

Moving on from the Red Sand Garden following the path to the Diversity Garden. In this garden area there is one plant from each of the 85 botanic regions in Australia, coastal, alpine and tropical. This garden gives the visitor views of plants that can be incorporated in to the home garden. Each garden bed gives the name of the plant in most instances and the region from which the plant is common. In this area each bed is sectioned off with thick white rope and many different mediums have been used as mulch. Examples of mediums used are crushed granite, broken shell, small and large stones, red sand, pebbles. I have included some closeup photos to show mediums use and one photo taken from some distance away to show the overall effect and and to show just how defined the garden beds are using this method.
