MARRICKVILLE GARDEN

NAILDM Membership Number: 894

Scale: 1:100 [A3]

pepo newsWe are very excited to inform you, we are now officially, an award winning landscape design practice! Read more in our newsletter’s final page. .You can also find a feature article on the winning garden in ABC Gardening Australia’s October edition.Spring is an exciting time of the year for us gardeners, it is the time we see the fruits of our labour. The autumn fertilizing, the winter pruning and mulching are noticeable in spring, it is also the season of rewards for all the hard work the Pepo maintenance crew have been doing over the wet winter. So it is with regret that our Maintenance Manager Paul Johnson will be finishing up with Pepo at the end of the month. We will miss Paul’s attention to detail and horticultural knowledge and of course wish him all the best with his move. Stepping into the Maintenance Manager position is Dom Russell. Dom knows the business well having been with us for the past 3 years. He has great skills and knowledge in horticulture.

The other change to the Pepo team is that Eve Valensise has returned to work as a designer in the public domain. Eve has moved to AECOM as a part of the design and art department, where I am sure she will thrive. We have been lucky enough to fill Eve’s position with Simon Lloyd, who is just as enthusiastic and skilled as his counterpart. Simon has experience working as a landscape architect in the public domain. He is looking forward to working with Pepo on residential garden projects.

Finally we are also thrilled to have Carolyn Armstrong back with us two days a week. Many of you will have worked with Carolyn on your garden in the past. Not only has Carolyn had time to look after her new baby boy and his sisters this year she, has also managed to work her way through a diploma in Arboriculture.

With these changes comes spring & warm days in the garden. We look forward to seeing you all soon.

in your garden this spring we will...

help us help you by...• Don’t panic if your gardenias have yellow leaves this early in spring. It is because the soil is still cold and the magnesium they need to green up and grow new leaves is still locked up in the soil. We will water with tepid water to speed up the process. By October/November they will be lush again.

• After all the winter rain, your paths may have become slippery, particularly in shady gardens. Let us know if you would like us to bring the high pressure hose to clean them up before summer.

Carolyn Armstrong - Garden design and maintenance

• take the clippers to hedges this month. A good clip now will create dense growth and light trimming only will be required to maintain shape over summer.

• add cow manure and slow-release fertiliser to replenish the soil in preparation for new growth and a good crop of flowers next year.Camellias benefit from pruning after flowering.

• assess all potted specimens for re-potting. Potting mix should be replaced and plant roots pruned every couple of years. This ensures roots do not get pot bound, nutrients are replenished and water is held in the soil rather than running straight through.

Rosemary Lamb Skewers

Diced LambRed onionRed capsicumButton mushrooms1 lemonOlive oil& 1 Rosemary bush

This dish combines cooking with a little bit of gardening. What you will need is a fairly well established Rosemary bush. What you’re looking for are the longer, woodier shoots that have thickened up over winter. Using a pair of secateurs snip these shoots at the base on an angle to create a point. Set them aside to dry (3 to 5 days), low and behold they have become beautiful rosemary skewer sticks, perfect for some spring lamb! You’ll also have pruned back your Rosemary bush allowing for new growth in the warmer months ahead.

Thread your lamb onto the skewer, followed by healthy sized chunks of capsicum, onion & mushroom in betweeen. Grate on some lemon zest, salt, pepper and olive oil. Best cooked on a BBQ hotplate. Pop the skewers on a platter and squeeze a little lemon over the top to serve. James Perkin - Construction supervisor

Excellence in Design AwardsMarrickville Garden & Parsley Bay

The Australian Institute of Landscape Designers and Managers awards celebrate the excellence in design produced by AILDM members nationwide. This is the first year Pepo has entered gardens in the awards and we are happy to

say we collected two. Our Marrickville garden was the winner in the $40,000-$100,000 category. We also received a highly commended award for the design and construction of our Parsley Bay garden. At Pepo we

are thrilled to see gardens that are diverse, practical and sustainable, recognised for their design and beauty. Nicola Cameron - Director
