THE COTTAGE GARDEN
Yvette Reading
Walk past the picturesque front garden and at the back of this property, hidden from the road, you will discover a large and thriving veggie patch.
Walk through the magnificent sculptured iron gate and row upon row of vegetables stretch out before you.
See a wide range of berries scrambling up their frames, providing food for birds and humans alike.
Note the chooks strutting around, gobbling up snails and insects, the natural 'vacuums' of the block.
Seek shade under the fruit trees while you sip on home-made elderberry cooler.
