About Me

Perth/Fremantle, Western Australia, Australia
An independent, working woman, I live in a riverside suburb close to both Fremantle and Perth. Having lived in Perth for over thirty years it's obvious that I love the place, though there are still things that irritate and make me squirm with embarrassment. Occasionally they will make an appearance; but generally speaking this is a pretty good place to live.

Garden Week 19 - 23 April

Perry Lakes is the venue for Perth's annual garden week.  Whilst not comparable to Canberra's Floriade or even Melbourne's garden week, the Perth equivalent is well worth a visit for lovers of gardening. 

There are a variety of stalls that would interest the avid gardener as well as those who simply want to know how to improve their humble back yard.  There are talks on everything from growing Clematis; yes apparently they can be grown in Perth, to planting sustainable and waterwise gardens.  There is even a cooking tent where those who have been bitten by the cooking reality shows can learn the latest culinary techniques.
