I took some photos earlier last week and only worked out to get them the SD card so I could transfer them to the computor! I just couldn't be bothered ,work,tired etc to work it out earlier but now I know!
My Big Garden,This is where i work,Kamblada District High School where the Primary and High School has been combined!One big garden of much variation to cater for junior kids through to those who can participate with some garden projects as part of there Out Door Educaion courses
This is one of my favourite places and I believe it has improved a lot in the last twelve months simply with the addition of perannuals that provide ongoing greenery and more flowers than the quick growing and maturing annuals that also cost every year to replace!
Dianthus curtisy of the lead gardener before she went on maturnity leav as they grew like weeeds in her home garden and she transplants a heap here last spring!Nastursiums that reseeded,seaside daisies that are only just becoming mature enough to fill out the borders,with grey plants which avaid my memory for their name but I think are of the gerbera family?It will come to me later.In among these are heaps of annuals ,which this year are pansies at the request of a staff member.I hope to keep this area for fussy things interplanted with some hardy plants so as to provide a heap of colour but reasonably water wise for summer(only during spring need the water with the hardy ones coming into their bit as the heat grows and the annuals die off)
I was and still am really proud of the work done here with my former lead gardener and the two relief ladies who have helped lately to get this patch to the stage it is, at the moment!
Next is the new rose bed that I shifted a couple of months ago before the weather started to warm up.These bushes were in a very shady spot with limited soil in quality as well as quantity.Infact they hardly had any roots on them just a main root that run along the side of the bed!
Among these roses is Angel face which has since started flowering after showing signs of stress and is also shooting more healthy shoots!This is their new home,I will put a photo of the previous site later when the new occupant flower!
The only red in the groupbut I would like to add some more later as there some rearly nice red tones out there now.The lastest one I was looking at was one called Lady Red which is a orangey type,bright but maybe a bit bricky
too!
Not sure of this pink rose ,although its a lovely colour it tends to be very weak at the bud stem and droops a bit too much for my liking,I have amemory that it could be a Princess Monacco? or some royal name .A bit of research needed there!
Note the peahay around the bushes ,they are thriving in part to this as they don't dry out too quickly,no spores are thrown up during hand watering and their roots ae cooler or even in temperature.Also a weekly feed of rose food is helping too! 
St Barbaras Daisy, a type of gerbera,unless I am corrected,I went looking in a plant search on the internet and discovered this so if it another type I would love to know.It self seeds but the offspring rarely grow further than the second stage leaf and just sit there !I tried putting the seeds into the shade house but the same thing happens,so I shall persevere as maybe the timing was wrong .
I left it where it was mainly as it was a charming location for it ,it was perfectly happy there and a great show in early spring!Also I couldn't plant anothe rose there anyway!!
Well thats it for now,I will add more pictures of developement bits around the school, as its great to see the improvements as they appear and the new plants that are added ( identified at least).
