Aussiegall's Cottage garden

Garden Type: Cottage | Sun: Full Sun | Soil: Clay I'm Organic!

Welcome to my Garden. Come in for a wander and take a seat on the garden bench.
We moved here about 7 years ago. The previous owners where not gardeners and there was only one small bed under the pergola which had a few ferns and indoor plants. The rest of the yard was a blank canvas. We are on a really large block so we decided that to avoid spending ages mowing the lawn we would put in as many garden beds as possible.
The garden has a cottage feel to it and consists of a mix of both exotic and native plants.
Most of the flowers on my Flickr Photostream are from my garden.
Our garden is totally organic, I dont use pesticides and all fertilisers are organic- Blood & Bone, compost, worm castings and sheep manure
