Barbara's Garden


Among our good Kiwi friends are Barbara Hochstein and Geoffrey Cox. I mentioned artist/author/historian Geoffrey in an earlier blog, but I want to document my special friendship with his wife Barbara as well. Barbara is a radiologist at Rotorua Hospital, and, like Geoffrey, she’s brilliant!


We’ve enjoyed hikes and bikes and meals with Barbara, Geoffrey and their son Nicholas, and we consider it a treat to be invited to their lovely home on Lake Rotorua. Barbara’s garden is more than blog-worthy. She has mastered the art of organic gardening, and I’m taking notes on her elaborate system of composting. Geoffrey built a life-size sundial that is the centerpiece of the backyard. For good measure, a croquet course adds to the charm.
