Retirement Eden
Anne’s garden is a major contributor to the wellbeing of her fellow Bupa retirement village residents, especially those who are in a wheelchair. Anne regularly receives visitors from the care home who are brought up to look at her garden in search of cheer and the good feelings which come from spending time amongst beautiful plants and wildlife.
Although tiny, Anne crams in as much as she can including edibles. Although not entirely organic, (Anne likes to feed her plants but does not spray) she has moved lately more towards organic methods and is fond of ‘Zoodoo’, a great recycled product cleverly packaged and sold by Auckland Zoo.
Meeting Anne is like meeting a force of nature, she will sweep you away with her sense of organisation and clever ideas to make life easier as a gardener. This garden is a great inspiration for the use of small space to bring much needed life to our places and how to do it at any age with time and effort saving ideas. Bees and Butterflies abound!
Please park on the street or at Meadowbank Mall, opposite.
