THE MISSION

From this...

To this! 



 

 

 

 

 

 

Creating anything from scratch is not easy. Unless, of course, you’re creative, which I’m not. But sometimes it comes down to a simple equation.

 Need + Motivation + Obsessive Urge = Creative Goal

Let me explain.

Five months ago I moved from living the single life in Mackay, North Qld :  (Garden – large, colourful and reasonably well organised), to do the couple thing with Ian at Mount Cotton, South East Qld: ( Garden  – large, uncoordinated and very weedsome.) There is a back-story but I won’t bore you with the details here.

So here it is:

The Need - to stop the spread of said weeds and native flora from overtaking the house.

The Motivation - to have a view from the windows that does not resemble the Belanglo State Forest.

The Obsessive Urge - to create something that will make friends and neighbours insanely jealous.

Creative Goal -  a magnificent tropical garden worthy of a Nong Nooch Princess.

Can it be done?

I’m hoping yes. But hey, even if it can’t, what’s the harm in giving it a go?
