Winter at Wellington Manor means a kaleidoscope of colour, clear blue skies, and stunning gardens.
So much so that resident Renate Smythe took time out to photograph some of the majestic flowers and plants that are currently in bloom. She even managed to capture a resident rainbow lorikeet, peeking its head out of the birdhouse.
Lovingly tended by a team of three expert gardeners, the gardens are looking particularly colourful this winter and are a hallmark of the village. Head Gardener Rod Bennett says that residents are particularly fond of the beautiful camellias, chrysanthemums and orchids, to name just a few.
