Hi to all our Garden Gurus across the Globe.
It was now my pleasure to go visiting a beautiful Garden Nursery which is set in a most unusual setting south of where I live.
The Nursery is called Raywood Nursery and a more delightful garden full of exotics trees, shrubs and plants would be difficult to find any where else in such a unique environment.
Raywood, which used to be a renowned nursery in the Adelaide Hills situated in Piccadilly, was transferred in 1974 to Deep Creek, far south on the Fleurieu Peninsula South Australia and is established with in 30 acres of wild and thick Stringy Bark Forest.
The actual Deep Creek runs through the property supplying the nursery with the much needed water to keep everything looking so fresh and green.
Once inside this nursery, which sits next to a conservation park, it feels like you have stepped into another world.
Blue Wrens and many other bird species including Native finches all play a big part creating charm and uniqueness in this beautiful and captivating family owned nursery.
I hope that you enjoy my little slide show and might I say it was difficult to stop at posting many more photos into this slide show.
I had such a great day there with my camera and found the owners so very obliging.
I wish to thank them sincerely for the pleasure.
Cheers for Now Milli.
I'm not a traveler at all but have always thought I would enjoy Australia, this garden is very nice.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lynda I know that you would love Australia. Especially here. This was a superb opportunity for me to visit this nursery last Sunday. I work all weekends but had that particular weekend off for new year. So I made the most of it and loved every moment. It is like being in a magical garden or shall I say the secret Garden. Awesome.
ReplyDeleteBy the way if you click on the photos in the blog they will enlarge and you can choose the music on or off for the slide show. The slide show will also enlarge to full screen if you want that. Click the large square bottom right next to make a slide show.
ReplyDeleteWow, this does seem to be a magical place, it's so lush and so much in bloom. This is your summer, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteYes this is our Summer Vic..in fact it is middle Summer here.
ReplyDeleteThe nursery is in very deeply wooded area and the owner told me that certain days when the temperature is high that he watches the weather and which way the wind blows carefully because of fire threats. They do have a green oasis there but fires don't seem to care about that.
Oh this was so beautiful to watch! It's always summer...somewhere in this world :)
ReplyDeleteWelcome Amalie and so true it is always summer somewhere which means we actually get to visit another climate at the click of a mouse. Thanks so much for this visit.
ReplyDeleteI love the hydrangea in bloom, such colors. One of mine needs to be moved, it's dorman now so i should set myself to get that task done.
ReplyDeleteDo you get paid for running advertising campaigns like this?????

Special Nursery, Yes I agree it's wonderful
ReplyDeleteThanks and I really think that you have enjoyed it there too!
ReplyDeleteLovely series, dear. Nature sure has a wealth of motifs.
ReplyDeleteWow! That nursery looks more like a botanical garden :-). I went to my nursery today, in the dead of winter, and all they had were seeds...oh and I bought a bat house.
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos. I especially love the hydrangeas and the roses!
Thank You Anders..truer words have not been written.
ReplyDeleteIt is a privately owned nursery Amy but yes it is more like a botanical garden set in natures play ground.
ReplyDeleteThe hydrangeas and roses were a spectacle.
I love that you bought a bat house you must share it will us all and also show us how those seeds come along.
Thanks Amy.
I'm thinking i should get a bat house now. I've never heard of one. I occassionally catch them at night flying around but it's very inconsistant.
ReplyDeleteYou don't mean literally "catch" do you?
ReplyDeleteBefore getting a bat house you should do some research on what the bats in your area prefer as far as the dimensions of the bat house and where to situated it. In China and I think even in Japan bats are a symbol of good luck most likely because even the earliest farmers noticed that the more bats that visited their farms the fewer pests they had.
I'll research it. I don't mean literally catch, meant catch a glimpse of. Years ago, when i was an Army Man stationed in Texas there was a building near me that had bats every eve. I loved watchign them.
