Blake’s Delights
Gardening
Perched above the plains of Kingston, Mrs Pauline Blake’s garden is a sight to behold. From ponds to lily pads, orchids to clemantis, rosemary to eucalyptus, each bloom and bud is nurtured with care, love and the nutrient enriched soil of Red Hills.
Blake’s garden is so full of beautiful surprises that you’ll understand we’re sure why we’re delighted to share with our readers just a few of Blake’s delights.

Blake explains that her nutrient-enriched soil allows her Rosemaryplant to grow to the size of a shrub. Rosemary is a perennial herb witha fragrant smell and is a native of the Mediterranean region.
President Clematis is one of over 200 Clematis species and is sometimesfondly called a traveller’s joy, leather flower, vase vine and virgin’sbower.
Eucalyptus is used as an ingredient in many medicines today, and Blake proudly shows us her plant.
