I Want a Tasmanian Garden

I haven't dropped off the face of the earth - I've just been to Tasmania. But its okay - they have abundant gardens, gobsmacking galleries and bunnies-a-plenty (but more on that later).

This amazing creeping rose was at the Governors House in Hobart. We jumped a fence looking to get to the botanical gardens and realised later they were private grounds. Whoops - sorry gov.


This is from a front yard in Richmond. Not sure what the flower is - like a hydrangea but half the size?


Here are a few pics from my travels.




These amazing houses are in Battery Point



Would you believe these gardens are at the Cascade Brewery? Beer and gardens together at last.


Beautiful blooms aside - it's good to be home.

    Oh goodness, you were about 5 minutes drive away from me! I love the Botanical Gardens but all the ones you show are stunning. I'm glad you had a nice time and look forward to seeing more :)

    Beautiful photos, so glad you enjoyed your time here! We call those plants a Pom Pom but I don't know what the actual name is, so pretty though, we are lucky to have one in our backyard. :)
