The Garden Shelf

  My favourite part of the garden near my bedroom window now has a new garden shelf. The previous one was a wrought iron affair from the 60's. I loved it but it finally died after so many years of holding plants. Up until 1999 when I came upon it - it had lived a sheltered life under cover. I wanted it for my outside area. This new (well not new-it also lived a sheltered life in my bedroom and then the laundry for 10 years) black bakers stand has lots more room for plants and ornaments.
A piece of granite rock from Stanthorpe, a clay cat from a grandchild, an old tile, a favourite jug that no longer has a handle....The maiden hair fern came from the garden at Coomera in 1990.
