It’s amazing what life delivers when the ducks line up and I find that the less I worry about trying to put the ducks in a line and just enjoy their random flight as a flock, the more they do their thing and the result is all about the trust. A big opening sentence I realise, but I will explain over the course of this week’s Costa‘s Corner which is coming to you from Adelaide via Canberra and onwards to Dromana!

Tammy visits a collector's colourful balcony; Costa meets multicultural community gardeners; Clarence profiles autumn flowering natives; Millie savours summer; we profile the spectacular giant bromeliad and Hannah makes a simple, handy tool for sifting compost.
