How do you keep it this green? Are you up in the hills?
Used to live in St Kilda and most of my relatives in Melbourne live around Fitzroy. Not places where you keep moss gardens normally!

Good guess
I'm in Belgrave, at the foot of the Dandenongs, so its not really much of a struggle to keep things looking lush....its much harder to keep moisture sensitive things like white pines happy though!I cant say i've seen any moss gardens in St Kilda or Fitzroy, buuuuut i must confess to being mightily jealous of an alley behind some warehouses in richmond a few weeks back...the moss in there would have been at least 50mm thick

lol. I think it was richmond where I lived for a for months around 2005. Prices for townhouses were still within reach. I looked at moving to Oz permanently back then on a needed worker visa.
I was driving around Belgrave too. Gorgeous. The dandenong are (were
) amongst my favorite places in Oz. First time there was in the 80-ies when the hike to the lookout was over rubble and a makeship rope was placed at some strategic places. Shocked when I returned and saw the steel walkways, stairs etc.In the end I came to the conclusion that buying anything on an academics salary would be at least beyond the end of the line stops.

Our garden is aimed at providing space for the living, and contrast to the dead German yards and fields..

I like the mobility size to create individual spaces and environments....nicely done. Like individual work and care spaces.

Thanks! It's especially helpful to have the shade area on the right under that maple tree.

Pinus Sylvestris watereri, it could make an interesting variety in bonsai since I planted it ten years ago it hasn't grown much , but has thickened well

Unfortunately, you are looking at and falling in love with the canopy. Bonsai is made or lost with the first few inches of trunk, which I suspect is barren of the major branches that are the difference between shrubs and bonsai.

That looks really tranquil and just lovely.

My garden is coming along nicely this year. Shout out to the local bobcat, Bobby. He's single handedly eliminated our rabbit problem this spring.

Mine from the back. We're considering moving next year, but if we end up staying, I'll probably re-design the area to make a little better use of the space. The tops of some of my benches are rotting anyway. Next time, I'll probably stain the flat surfaces at least.

Happy Father's Day to you! We went out for a nice dinner tonight with our son to avoid the craziness at restaurants tomorrow. Plus, I need to get a couple azaleas trimmed up and repotted tomorrow so I'll throw something on the grill or smoker. Have a great day.It will be a nice father's day weekend with my daughter, some trees and bbq.
