------ THE GARDENERS ------ When we first took up our abode here, there was a considerable amount of waste ground left in the state builders usually leave land near new buildings, namely, bricks and lengths of wood and felt scattered about in great abundance. ------ Now “Jack” is a handy man, and when a gardening party was suggested, he set to with a will. We now see, as the fruit of his labours, a number of gardens laid out in picturesque designs, and it is hoped that there will be a profusion of flowers blooming in the near future. ------ The gardens have been planted with fir trees, and there is a whisper, that they are for our mess tables next Christmas, but this, we may state on good authority, is purely a “buzz”. There is no doubt however, that the gardeners have done good work, and under the able direction of Petty Officer Yetton, have made our surroundings quite pleasant. Thanks are also due to Mr. Arthur Sutton, the famous seedsman, who, through the good offices of Mr. Coryton, has kindly given a quantity of lawn and flower seed (Camp magazine april 1915)
