...and this craggy monster, cunningly concealed behind the Playground and where the on-Site Park Maintenance Staff have their Offices. Certainly the “old”, this fig is likely to have been in the Park for well over a 100 years and looks in pristine condition.

Quite the old and the new today, when Harriet just happened to be visiting the Park. New 2020 Rose blooms are still in the early stages, but things look seriously promising for another great display. This is an absolute gem. It has been just a few weeks when the Park Team put the annual pruning exercise into place. The “old” in a minute.

As an afterthought, Harriet has just asked that her pic of her favourite hue in the vast range within the NFP Posies species, be featured.

Yesterday and today saw a return to sunny Queensla

Yesterday and today saw a return to sunny Queensland days in the best of winter traditions. The weekend just past saw vastly reduced crowds dodging overcast conditions with intermittent but annoying showers.

Harriet today, took in the now well advanced new Posies plantings, dominating the front Brunswick Street entrance. After only a few weeks, these new plantings have created an array of colour not usually seen in any one particular species.

A Park staffer told Harriet that when ordering this species for planting, the Order reads: “Posies -mixed”. The last Order was for a rounding 350x. They have been put to great use providing for a seriously colourful front entrance. Check out the display on your next visit.

With school holidays now with us, and with accompanying fine weather, the Park is hosting good mid-week numbers. Forecasts are good for the remaining weeks.

On their way their, visitors would have noticed the near completion of NF’s Neighbourhood Centre, with official re-opening times shortly to be announced.

It has a remarkable renovation. Staff can’t wait to get back home.

The Peninsula has its fair share of oddities, some even in the wide range of trees and shrubs found here.
Harriet found this “warts and all” gem today, quite near the Park.

After a slow Sunday start, the clouds parted, the sun dominated and the regular visitors just had another delightful day. There were long late afternoon queues of cars exiting New Farm.

The pruning of the Roses is almost finished and we all look forward to what happens in the next few months. Another great season looks assured.

The Team returned to the Unit at the end of the day with Harriet finding this early evening dusk just to her liking.

This week has seen the annual pruning of the Park’s magnificent Rose collection. Many in the Community are now a part of the process, with Park staffer sharing the blooms and the cuttings with any number of Rose enthusiasts.
We saw local Councillor Vicki Howard yesterday, enjoying her day in the Park.

The Park’s much admired and loved Roses, are in the early stages of their annual pruning exercise. Staff started the work late last week.
We were told that all plants, numbering now in their thousands, will be pared back over the next couple of weeks.

Harriet saw many people yesterday, despite the rain, taking pics of their best for 2020. This is one of her favourites.

Final posting from the last week of our Artist in

Final posting from the last week of our Artist in Residency.
A few more are up on our Facebook page; all accessible from the homepage of the website.

It has been a remarkable journey; all brought about by the skills, the patience and the generosity of David Hinchliffe. We think he’s enjoyed himself.

David has quickly moved on to another personal passion, that of Indigenous Art. That can be followed through his various SM platforms.

Harriet heard yesterday that the annual pruning of the Park’s Roses commences in coming weeks. Each variety and there are literally hundreds, carries a different approach; some processes more brutal than others. But only good will come from it.

The Roses across the Park have had an absolute stellar season. We’ve seen expansive new beds up near the Brunswick Street Entrance and new appropriate Arbours; all adding to one the Park’s most loved and best known attractions. ....and the pic ? David’s apron, looking very much the better for wear and effort.

More soon.

Team NFP are still active, today in the cutting room, sifting through the remaining pics and clips of the AiR’s week long stint in the Park.

He did well, remarkably well.

This is Harriet’s favourite; likely to end up as an entry in some upcoming Art Show.

The Team said they had the best day.

Harriet particularly liked her pic of both the Patron and the Artist in Residence.

She described them as almost “live-in” elements of both NFP and the website.

More of what has been a wonderful week, in coming hours and days.

We saw off the second last day of David Hinchliff

We saw off the second last day of David Hinchliffe’s rather busy week in the Park today. I t has been an absolute treat over this week.

So many have enjoyed his daily sessions, which started last Sunday. He has taken us to areas right across the Park, with each day just a little different. Fellow aspiring Artists have taken in much, over this past week. Harriet met up with the New Farm Art Collective for the first time.

David no doubt be telling us where he will be setting up tomorrow. With quite perfect Brisbane Winter weather looking like locked in, it will be a great way for him to finalise his 2020 Residency.

This pic from today, with quite a few more on our Facebook platform, all accessible from the homepage of the website.

Our Artist in Residence is holding up remarkably well.
Since Sunday last, he has set himself up in various locations across the Park, putting on canvas his affection for many of the stately trees found there.
His 2020 Residency ends this Saturday.

There will be more coverage later today, but this week has also brought out so many art and sketching groups, setting themselves up and plying their wares and skills.

We met up with the New Farm Art Collective, regular visitors to the Park. Tomorrow at the Rotunda, the Collective will be meeting up again; 10 ‘til around 2.

A couple of pics from today, with their Friday session also to be covered.

Today Wednesday, and we have the Artist in Residen

Today Wednesday, and we have the Artist in Residence, David Hinchliffe, setting up his easel and brushes over in that well treed part of the Park, near the Brunswick Street boundary. It was just opposite that New Farm residential delight, the Coronet Court Flats.
Today was different when he was joined by a number of aspiring Artists, seeking guidance and hints on the best way to portray the Park on canvas.
More coverage of the day appears on the Facebook and other SM platforms, accessed from the homepage of the website.
Another session and another location has been locked in for tomorrow. The weather has been quite remarkable.

Day 3 saw David H. take up duties in front of one of the Park’s most senior Trees. An enthusiastic crowd was on hand to see how the works develop.

There is another session tomorrow, this time in that well forested area fronting Brunswick Street.
