Coming to the end of the calendar year, makes us all think about summer – flowering jacarandas, summer storms and the heat. This is also a valuable time to think of others in regions that have been, or may well be, subjected to the harsh forces of nature including cyclones, fire, floods, landslides, etc. Take stock of your ‘assets’ and protect them – I am of course referring to your family, friends, neighbours and pets.
Within this issue we cover the ever-popular cordylines and climbers. We take a walk along a midsummer night’s garden pathway and also tackle thorny plants. The styles of Japanese gardens are looked at and how they influence our gardens at home, whilst a private garden in Port Douglas shows what can be done in the humid tropics with natives. |
