I’m loving the flowers and colour in the garden at the moment. The cluster of Fire and Ice roses, the elegant Lilliums, the hydrangeas are so pretty and special mention must be given to the Brugmansia in the last 3 pictures. I’ve had that plant more than 10 years in a pot. In the warmer months it would be decimated by bugs eating the leaves despite spraying with everything I could think of. In winter, the frost ensured there were no leaves. It never once had a flower! But neither would it die - enabling me to dispose of it without guilt. When we moved, I thought it might improve but it still didn’t flourish. In the end I planted it in the ground near the rainwater tank - as a last ditch effort - fully expecting that it would finally succumb and perish. Can you imagine my delight when I went out today to see that it has about 10 flowers on it - and such a pretty colour (I’d quite forgotten what colour it was supposed to be)! It’s just such a shame that just when everything is looking so sensational - that we get a scorcher of a day like today - that will probably fry a lot of the flowers 💐 😔 Ah well, that’s gardening life, I guess. #hopesprings🍄 #naturesartwork🎨 #theperilsandpitfallsofgardening #gardeninglife ...

Surprised and delighted

https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=MjVPR2DQye4Recently we were surprised when Destination Happiness (a lifestyle television show on Channel 9) came out to visit and film a segment for Happy Pets at Hope Springs.

We were even more surprised when Petstock presented us with a cheque for $15,000 for our Pay it Paw-ward Program – helping us to “Keep pets and people together”.

We are very grateful for Pet-Stocks support of local communities and small charities making a direct difference to the wellbeing of their local community. Click here to see the segment.
