When I was conducting house history research of our 1914 Queenslander in Brisabane a few years ago, I found some newspaper clippings about the original owners’ love of plants and their large ‘bush house’ or fernery. Mr and Mrs Burns, as it turns out, were avid horticulturalists and grew a variety of plants in this shadehouse which once occupied the part of our block where our gate and driveway now is.
