In 1902, Christopher and Ethel Johnstone left the city with their
young family to open a country newspaper and printing office. "Ma's
Garden" is a gentle tale about the first year of their new life,
the people they meet, their tribulations and celebrations. This is
the story of the essence of a small town, which was not so
different then as it is today. Ethel (Ma) Johnstone planted her
garden on a barren block in a tiny town carved out of the
Australian bush. She embarked on the project with little knowledge
but with much hope and optimism for the future in her heart. Fifty
years later, the seeds and plants had grown and matured and her
garden had morphed into a beautiful haven. At the same time, her
husband Christopher put trust in his skills and in the future,
embarking on a new business that would reward him by providing for
his family for nearly six decades. As the garden grew, so did their
lives, their family and their community.
