The garden in September...
Spring has arrived with a flourish at Karwarra and the New Holland Honeyeaters are darting back and forth in ecstacy between the correas and the banksias. The sharp lemon of acacia boormanni and crisp white of paper daisies light up the entrance and a heady mixture of boronia, tetratheca, thryptomene and eriostemon wafts across the pond. The beds escaped the devastation which the June storm wrought on the eucalypts at the entrance and Karwarra should be in full bloom for the FREE ENTRY day of the Spring Plant Sale.
