Excited gardeners do a lot of digging down under;
There are litterly more
great gardens than we are able to list
"A glance through these pages will introduce you to some of the best parks and gardens in the
Australia"
Australians in their 40's to 50's are know as "baby boomers". This term came about for a number of reasons.
One, when after the Second World War the politicians of that time told us all to propagate and populate Australia or die!
So we did. Australians got about building their families, and we had a lot fun doing that!
Why discuss this when we are talking about gardening? That's a good question.
"Well, I thought it best to
let you know we Aussies are very good at populating and proagating and it is the same with our gardens!"
There are gardeners out there, people like you, who just love their gardens, and the garden is often their
whole life.
While I am not suggesting that is all there is to life, many of us work extremely hard and are considering other ways to
get away from the madness of work. Some are travelling, others caravanning their way around the country, some people
love to play sport or play bingo, others go sailing or spend time in their church group, or do charity work. Reading
novels also grants some people immense pleasure, while music can provide many of us with an interest.
Yet, one of the most popular ways for people of all ages to spend their time is gardening. It really is amazing that
there are gardening, radio and television shows, books and internet sites; you name it, gardening is everywhere.

Those who are into gardening say that one needs to experience it to understand it. It is a different kind of
happiness to see the saplings grow into trees, which then bear fruits and flowers of various shapes and colours.
The plants become your babies and you care for them, as if they are your life. Today, gardens have become a craze among
many. Even if one is not interested in gardening, he or she wants a beautiful garden infront of their house, which
would be the cynosure of all eyes.
