September is a glorious time to be gardening! The first butterflies have arrived and Little Wattlebirds are getting frisky. In my garden in Thornbury there is a range of Australian natives, local indigenous plants and some special plants in pots. My Grass Tree is nearly in flower after three years in a pot and seven in the ground.
