| St Peters Gardens |
| |
Held on the first weekend in November, St Peters Town and Country Garden Tours
have been an annual event in Armidale for about eighteen years. Through all the vagaries of New England weather - drought,
hailstorms, rainstorms, late frosts, wild winters, mild winters - the gardens have brought pleasure to a great many visitors year in year out. |

| "Yallaroo" - Warren and Gloria Sheather |
| |
"Yallaroo" was purchased about 16 years ago and since then the garden has increased
considerably in size. We have not yet reached our target of four hectares (ten acres)
but the area under cultivation has reached nearly half that size.
We now have visits from numerous organizations including garden clubs, bird watching groups,
and professional organizations. In any given year we have between 200-300 visitors.
Propagation (by seed and cuttings) continues. At least 90% of our plants are propagated
on site. New varieties are continually added to the garden.
As the garden has developed we have welcomed a steady stream of native birds and other
wildlife. |

Growing Native Plants on the Web. |
| |
In the 1970's and early 1980's the Australian National Botanic Gardens produced a
landmark series of booklets called 'Growing Native Plants', issuing one volume a year
for 14 years. This was at a time when little was available on this topic in commercial
publishing. |
| |
With the private publication of 'Australian Native Plants' by John Wrigley and Murray
Fagg in 1979 and the first volumes of the multi-part 'Encyclopeadia of Australian Plants'
by Rodger Elliot and David Jones in the 1980's, there was less demand for the government to produce the
series and it finished at Number 14.
|
| |
This Web version updates highlights from the series, making the information available
to a much larger local and world audience. In recent years new species have been added,
written by the Botanical Interns as part of their training program with the Australian
National Herbarium. |
