Gardens  of  the  Downs

 I purchased Bellow Park,  in July 2024 and moved here in October 2024. At the time, the property was bare ground with no garden, largely because the original bore water was too salty. After purchasing the property, I designed the garden, engaged landscapers, and installed a new bore, which now provides potable water. This garden was created in memory of my parents, Rita and Eartley Kehl—my mother loved her garden, and my father loved his fruit trees. Although the garden is only 21 months old, it already features a wide variety of plants, including roses, magnolias, daisies, lilies, lavender, rosemary, buddleia, lagerstroemia, hibiscus, and alstroemeria, as well as a very young fruit orchard. It also includes a fountain and ponds and I will be displaying some horse-drawn carts along with a few vintage and modern cars.
