Camellia Collection
Our camellia's have grown into quite substantial bushes, some were dug out of Rod's parents garden before they sold, one was from my Grandfathers garden and one was a gift from a work colleague. 9 varieties in total, 8 of which are planted in the Camellia garden.

One mans rubbish is another mans treasure
A trip to my parents at Victor Harbor with the trailer to help them get rid of accumulated stuff resulted in lots of old tools to display in the shelf unit in my new potting area. Some of the tools probably belonged to my Grandfather - Sid.

Taking 'Going potty' to a new level
Book shelf off the side of the road plus decorative features removed from family room cabinets after modifications to accomodate larger TV
A chance fit - which also fits with the William Morris quote -“If you want a golden rule that will fit everything, this is it: Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful.” I am sure he was also talking about potting sheds!
Commercial style Aluminium framed door off Gumtree - paid $120 now installed as main entrance to workshop/ potting area.
Located in close proximity to nursery area plant stands with automatic water system.
Once again Ashwell is evolving to suit changing needs.
