I finally managed to get the garden bank at Struan Farm cleaned out the past few weeks. It's finished but for planting ferns to fill in the gaps under the pongas, camelia and magnolia trees.
There's an old shade house up in the back beyond the fence surrounding the garden. John's family used it to grow cuttings. Despite a somewhat shaky appearance the structure is still quite sound.
During my clean out I uncovered these steps leading up to it:
Hmm. Thinking perhaps that I need to extend my clean out beyond the garden to the shade house and surrounds so that we could make a "Secret Clubhouse" for our younger visitors. Don't know about you, but we always had either a clubhouse/hideout or a fort in the woods growing up. I feel another project coming on..............we'd need a sign, and a table and chairs.......Maurie's old pith helmut as decoration perhaps?
