On 27th September, the Garden Appreciation Group visited the beautiful, large and inspiring garden of Kathleen Yates, Baddaginnie/Benalla Road. A relatively new project, constructed to complement the new house, it has been a labour of love for Kathleen, her husband and her Dad.
In early Spring, the garden looked a picture, with a Waterlilly covered pond and little bridge accessing a large Gazebo, several large shade trees, ornamental garden statues, pockets of bulbs, succulents, grasses, lillies and, on the Eastern side, outside the Japanese inspired main bathroom, a gorgeous Japanese garden, largely built by Katheen's handyman Dad. Kathleen showed us around the house interior, where her decorating prowess and her clever Dad's carpentry skills were evident in every room.
Our group gathered on the shady veranda for morning tea. The fluffy sponge disappeared without trace! Lunch venue afterwards was the Royal Hotel.

Thank you Kathleen for providing such a lovely Garden to Appreciate.
