Today I went to Hornsby and visited Lisgar Gardens, a hidden secret of the upper North Shore of Sydney.
This is a beautiful, well kept garden with lawns and flowerbeds
Stone pathways and stone walls
Near the entrance is a waterfall
and inside is a gazebo with a lot of ferns and a very large fish pond.
We weren't allowed to feed the fish but that didn't stop them from coming up
to see what we might have for them.
The pathways stretched throughout the gardens and occasionally we would see an old
fashioned lamp.
The ferns and moss looked stunning
and the garden is left as natural as possible.
Wood and stone is used to fit in with the natural environment and woodchips
are used to cover the pathways.
I could spend hours here wondering through the forest and gardens
and seeing all the interesting plants and new growth such as this fern.
