SA Author. On a hill overlooking the Southern Ocean, two people with a vision have created a magnificent bush garden; a thriving ecosystem; a haven for local creatures. They purchased 21 hectares of farmland above Port Elliot and transformed it into a forest with a diverse understorey of native species. Their revegetation journey was hard work as they coped with drought, wind, rocky soil and trial and error, but the results are stunning, as shown on ABC’s Gardening Australia and in SALife magazine. With vivid photographs and poetic musings, Down the Garden Path offers rare insight into the physical and emotional requirements for turning a bald hill into flourishing bush and native garden.
