New owners and gardens

Many years ago, when we had bought our first house, being an avid
gardener, and in those days nurseries sold a huge variety of plants,
unlike the supermarket mentality of today, the main nursery, Palmers,
put out a plant book of what they had.
I studied it and chose what plants I wanted and how to lay out the
garden. We landscaped the garden with saw dust from my husbands work as
a wood turner, and railway sleepers which at that stage were comparably
cheap.
That was 50 years ago and the garden is by and large kept as it was
then. As I was told recently by my now ex-husband.
So there is hope for Jane's garden yet!
Ina Crossley Auckland New Zealand where we are having our first autumn
storm bringing some much needed rain.
What I can imagine is wifey turning to hubby and saying, "dear, why don't you
bring in the backhoe and level all that mess so we can have a nice paddock for
the horses?" [PS: I am not implying that Jane's place is a mess of any sort.]
