I had only ever seen the community centre from the walking track and had never ventured much farther in. I was very pleasantly surprised by what I discovered as I strolled towards the opposite end of the carpark.
Spread out below me was the most beautifully landscaped arid garden filled with delightful flowering succulents. The deep almost black hues of the aeonium contrasted with the greyish green tones of another species. The cotyledons were in full bloom and had put on a most magnificent display. The icing on the cake were the mass planting of Aloe Saturn at the entrance to the lower carpark. Their duo toned flowers appeared to be at their peak.
The neat rows of bare deciduous trees with upraised ‘arms’ filled with the promise of awakening buds in spring, in just a few months, gave me a full view of the carpark for now – I can only imagine how it would look through the seasons.
I found the perfect spot beside a carefully tended conifer to enjoy the view.
I wondered who the landscaper had been and who the nameless gardeners were who tended this place.
