An Old Plumber, An Ex-Carer, An Amateur Poet, Words From The Heart
Walking in the Botanical Gardens
The Geelong Botanic Gardens is an important garden that conserves plants worldwide. Walking around the gardens stimulates the senses with the colours and scents of the amazing plant collection. You can also relax on the lawns in peaceful surroundings as you experience one of Geelong’s best-kept secrets.
G'day, and welcome to my blog site. My name is Ivor Steven, I live in Geelong, Australia. I'm an ex-industrial chemist, and a retired plumber, and a former Carer of my wife(Carole), for 30 years, who suffered from severe MS. I Write poetry about those personal thoughts, throughout and beyond my life as a Carer.
I've been blogging for over 2 years, and writing poems for 19 years. Of course a lot of my poems are about my favourite subject Carole, but since I've been blogging my writings have become quite varied, humourous, mystical, observational, and even a few monster/horror poems.

Its a beautiful experience to spend time with plants, especially trees. They can’t walk away, they will remain with you till the time you are with them….
