Then we headed to the second garden. It is in the rocky Keppel township - hence the name. This is a Wollen Pine. An ancient tree only recently rediscovered in Australia. It was the first time I had seen one.
Red hot poker blooms. The stems couldn't support the blooms so it looks like they are growing out of the rocks. Keppel Croft is situated on an old gravel pit and they have made good use of all the stones they dig up as they plant. They use them as mulch, paths and various other projects.
I have no idea how they did this.
A snake in the biggest pond. The pond was filled with minnows and bullfrog tadpoles. I think this is a very happy snake.
This garden puts huge emphasis on hardscaping or Art Installations. They really are the highlight of the gardens. The paths are well constructed and laid out and lead you to many surprises as you will see if you scroll down.
