The Garden That Grew From An Elephant's Ear
"One day in 1959 as Lex Graham enjoyed his daily swim after a jog in the Reserve, an elephant's ear floated by. He fished it from the water and planted it between the roots of a nearby coral tree. To his surprise it grew. He had recently met Ruby and together they watched the growing plant. The began to add other plants and cuttings to that first one. And so began the amazing garden that now covers more than a hectare. The gardens have been built from so little, as an enormous labour of love." My stroll this morning took me along the Cremorne Point Foreshore Walk, which led me to this beautiful little garden on the steep slope to the harbour shore. It comprises winding paths to the water's edge, a pool, flowers, native birds, and all against a backdrop of Sydney Harbour.
