This 'surprise' garden in Geelong East turned out to be my favourite. It is actually how I imagine my dream garden, a few large trees inc Golden Elm & Gum (notice the beautiful display of fallen branches and bark under the gum tree), vegie garden, olive trees, almond trees, three fig trees, compost, chooks, bees, Ballerina apples etc etc
I'm pretty sure Helena, the garden owner, said she completed this garden (was just lawn + few trees) in approx 3 years! Amazing!!!
Who would know, from such a plain looking drive-way that such a secret wonderland existed!
Circular drive. Gum tree to the left and Golden Elm to the right.
Beautiful house!

View from the front of the house, looking back towards the entry drive. Apparently this was just grass approx three years ago!

Afternoon Tea - Before and After pics. The apple cake (Helena's own apples) was delish!!!
Loved these Ballerina apple trees...
