Garden
Sculptures: Over many years Yallaroo suffered
from poorly managed agricultural activities. Over-clearing and over-grazing
have left their marks on our environment. Dead trees, stumps and branches
litter the landscape and weeds have intruded in many places.
Fortunately every cloud has a silver lining. The dead trees have hollows used
as nesting sites for parrots and other native birds. Dead trees are also used
as lookout points for other birds. We are now incorporating stumps and
branches in our garden. Many have fascinating shapes and add interest to our
domestic landscape. They also serve another purpose. Jacky
Lizards rest on our garden sculptures and soak up the sun. Blue
Wrens also use these structures as they survey the garden before diving
into the vegetation chasing insects.
These natural garden sculptures also provide
support for native climbers such as Hardenbergia and Clematis.
