Victoria in Bloom – A garden song

not like I do now.

When I moved in here, I just thought, I want a garden bed in there.

So that went in and then it just kept getting bigger and bigger.

Just everywhere.

-How did you find the time to do all of this?

Because I've got a gardener.

-so you're the director?

I am the director.

And the pay for the plants and everything else.

Because I'm disabled, it's hard to do the weeding and things like that.

So that's why i’ve got a gardener.

She put things where I tell her to put them

and the biggest challenge is

now i’ve got two big gardens

sometimes I can be out there for three hours out the front watering.

My gardener calls me the watering queen

Everybody calls me the watering queen

Once I start, I can't stop.

I'm addicted

addidcted to watering.

For my mental health has been brilliant.

Just gives me a focus to get up each morning to

to go and tend my garden.

It just makes you feel good and makes me feel good.

If nobody says anything. It makes me feel good

I'm just out there watering and thinking, oh, that's beautiful.

Look at that coming on.

So yeah, just waking up in the morning.

knowing I've got something to look after.

I love my new garden

we only put this in last year and i just love it.

It’s a retreat out the back here.

it’s my little retreat

and just watching things grow and flowering.

I love it.
