The Glory of Gardening at Wesley Mission Queensland

on Tuesday, February 6, 2018

The bright, sun-flooded upstairs patio of Wesley Mission Queensland Knowles Court aged care community in Sinnamon Park is beginning to look like a jungle.

Old Man’s Beard hangs from the upper-most branches of a rather large jade plant.
