Hmmmmm... who,s this, your,s truly.

Yes, even Michael painted ,even if only for a few brushstrokes.

The three of us are a great team and have a lot of fun and enjoyment out of this venture. Long may it last. We have many more plans in mind so watch this space.

We closed The Barn at Easter and painted it all white. It looks great and we are now open again.

Winter 2008... yeah, it has been a much milder one this year.

Winter 2008 and fingers crossed we haven,t had snow this year and it,s the 1st September.

Natalie and Shirley... Shirley is the shabby chic queen at The Barn on Giles. She is very talented and adds a huge variety to our treasures which we have on offer.

Luke... my one and only grandchild and such a great young man.

Something that isn,t about gardening... This is Natalie, my daughter and her husband Mike at their wedding last November. Natalie is one of The Barn Girls and is a fan of retro so come and see her amazing treasures.

White trilliums.... I love them. In fact I love all flowers, especially white ones.

Trilliums.... just beautiful plants.

Magnolia,s shedding their winter clothes. This is an exciting and beautiful time in the garden and many groups and individuals have booked to watch the garden unfold. I have placed seats around the garden so visitor,s can rest and enjoy.

The perfect spot for cupcakes and tea.

The vegetable garden which I have huge plans for. This week there is two more raised beds being built and a large herb table being made as well. Lynda Hallinan, editor of New Zealand Gardener is a constant inspiration as I,m sure you will all agree.

The Beginning of Spring.... a gale was forecast for today, so I got busy withe camera.
