A modest 1960s three bedoomed home in leafy Applecross hides many hidden gems. It's lush green vegetation belies the drought ridden landscape of the recent summer Perth environment. Perth has been experiencing an increasingly drying climate over the past 20 years and there was no respite this year.

But some gardens seem to have a life of their own and laugh at the growing trend towards waterwise plants, as they wave their tropical fronds against a cloudless sky. My friend has one such garden, but what makes it really special are the 1001 hidden gems that present themselves.

Years of foraging amongst roadside collections, market stalls and op shops has brought together an amazing collection of 'precious' items which sit quietly amongst the equally eclectic collection of leafy fronds and flowers.
Gods and goddesses, elephants, nymphs sit together with fairies, lizards and frogs, ceramic pots and lions.
