Last week I was very fortunate to arrange my own garden tour of Tassie.I stayed in a beautiful heritage boutique hotel in Hobart and saw two rose gardens:
The Scented Rose in the Huon Valley (south of Hobart)
Prospect Villa in Hamilton (north of Hobart)
I missed the Botanical Gardens due to rain,so I will see them next time.
I had the most wonderful time saw beautiful gardens everywhere and plan to make this an annual event!Hubby says ok !
Here are some pics from the trip.It was really hard to select just a few but here goes:

Hope you enjoy the photos.

And visiting those gardens thats terrific, I love those Arches and Heritage looks beautiful almost like a paper rose, isn't nature wonderful to give us shapes like that or should I give all the credit to DA. I have never seen Trilous before and I could certainly put that on my wish list.

And those Gazebo's would I love one of them the grey colour blends in very well a colour I would never have though of using. Thanks for sharing and I am looking forward to your next lot of pics...Cheers..MM.

The gardens were amazing,so relaxing to be in and I realized today what was even more wonderful----no weeds! :))
I find it a constant battle with weeds.
A dear friend of mine said she loved weeding!
Then I thought if you make a chore something enjoyable(I still have to work out how to do this)I suppose it wouldnt feel so overwhelming.
I think I will suggest to my friend that if she comes here and does a bit of weeding with me- I'll shout lunch!
Heh Heh
Anyway the trip was a calming very enjoyable time where I met so many people.
I think when you go unaccompanied (my intention- as I was really stressed before I left) people feel free to talk.
At Prospect Villa,I spoke for a long time to Helen,the owner, even had a cuppa in her kitchen!, about Prospect Villa ,about the garden- how it was developed etc. It was really wonderful.
cheers
