Gardens in Dukes Court

Our flat (apartment) is in Dukes Court, a secured five story building.














About 25 Senior Missionary couples live here and serve in the Area Office and Johannesburg Temple. We are quickly becoming acquainted with many of them.

Many of our neighbors grow small gardens in the halls outside their doors.

































When we arrived the Jacaranda trees were in full bloom. Originating in Australia, these tall trees thrive here.
Vibrant lavender blossoms precede their green leaves.
These photos were taken from a fifth floor flat.














Late spring rains this past week have brought much needed moisture to Joburg.
