How two nursery experts transformed a bare block into a lush sanctuary
In short: Discover how Bernadine and Andrew Jones turned a barren plot of tough clay into a vibrant garden. This video explores their journey from nursery professionals to master gardeners, offering practical advice on soil improvement and plant selection.
After meeting at horticultural college, Bernadine and Andrew Jones spent roughly 40 years working in the nursery industry. This professional background informs their approach to managing a garden that features roses, lupins, camellias, and winding hedges.
Their transformation began 30 years ago on a bare block containing only a few gums and wattle trees. Despite facing the challenge of tough clay soil lacking topsoil, they successfully improved the ground by incorporating organic matter, such as compost and organic mulch, to create more manageable conditions.
