24th MARCH, 2012 – Timbertop Drive Rowville.
What a great time of year to be gardening; and thats what Maureen and Paul Lucas have been doing. There garden ‘Rosemont’ was open for all to see this weekend. Have a look at their massive plectranthus !
There award winning garden is accredited as a “Garden for Wildlife”. There are collections of cacti, succulents, roses, Plectranthus, Pelargoniums, Salvias, natives, bulbs, climbers, perennials, annuals, herbs, water features, a Spanish style courtyard and much, much more.
Paul and Maureen are not only avid gardeners, but are also on the committee of the Royal Horticultural Society – Maureen is the Editor of Gardeners Gazette and Paul is the official photographer. They are also keen members of the Knox Garden Club, who will be on hand on the day.
Here are some simple but effective ideas using colour.
Maureen says, “We are very chuffed to be chosen among this year’s 500 gardens open as part of Australia’s Open Gardens. They say on the front of their book “Australia’s Finest Gardens” – such a thrill for us. We have opened several times before for the Scheme – both in spring and autumn – and have many hundred people coming through the garden. We are hoping for a good number this time as well.”
Money raised on the day helps the Open Garden’s garden related charities.
