A lovely looking Cornus Amy. The first one I grew was a standard (grafted) of C. Kousa ‘Miss Satomi’. I’ve never seen such a lovely cornus plant since. I tried to move it with me to our last house, but it died. Since moving here I have done a bit of research and discovered that C.Florida is the most wind tolerant of the flowering Dogwoods, so a couple of years ago I planted one of those. Im hoping it might flower this year, its done very well so far, and had stunning autumn colours. I hope yours will thrive!

The gift that keeps on giving!!! :O)

We had garden gift vouchers too, can never have too many! I love your choice Amy I remember your pretty Cornus, your garden seems to be taking shape, looks as if you might be enjoying a few strawberries this summer too!!

I "trained" my family several years ago to give me Garden Centre vouchers for presents. As DD says, you can never have too many :-)

Exciting Amy, your garden will be to the standard of your old garden in no time :)

Thanks all , I was more than a little disappointed with this garden after leaving my beautiful big garden but have come to terms with it and am ready to make the most of it and am looking upon it as a challenge .. it's another journey on lifes road ...

That's it Amy! a challenge!!

I love getting garden vouchers, then I can take myself off to my favourite GC to choose what I want. Your developing garden will not only bring pleasure to you, but will also have memories built in.

Oh Yes !!! ... I love my garden voucher presents, I save them in the hopes they get added to for Mother's Day, also try and use them on what I consider to be a costly shrub, that way I don't feel guilty at spending a bit extra on my choice..Your garden will have reached the pleasurable stage this year Amy so enjoy....

Hi Amy .. nice to have the garden gift cards...

I love visiting garden centres and then buying something when I'm there, I love even more!!
We have one to spend and I am hoping to get a Hamamelis at the weekend.

My son has been very ill in hospital Amy or should I say the torture place he got his wife to sign him out after using hiv with cheaper antibiotics he is allergic to yet continued to keep putting it into him causing very bad Hives on top of his Cellulitis . Prior he has been doing his back garden up now he said when he gets better he will have raised wooden beds to grow food on the edge of the patio when he get the slabs for it down.

Hello Janey

Guess where, Just out of Hobart with a beautiful backdrop of Mount Wellington . Their address is Ferntree. Unfortunately we haven't been able to visit them at this address as now we are getting older we find the journey to hard for my husband. My son has informed me that he has built a Granny flat on his land ! He has a building company.
