One look at these wonderful waves of colour and one is in awe of their beauty and the care taken in maintaining them.
Most gardeners expect a change every season, and this is reflected at the Sandringham Veterinary Hospital in Fairmount.
Each season the vet and gardener, Dr Roy Israelite, makes sure that his garden reflects the changing season with his breathtaking display of the splendid colours in his garden.
The wave petunias at the Sandringham Veterinary Hospital makes the Fairmount sight awe-inspiring.
Passing by the animal hospital on George Avenue, one can’t miss the beautiful sight of swathes of petunias which make the area awe-inspiring.
The hospital’s receptionist, Nadine Levin, told the North Eastern Tribune that she has the privilege of working in one of the prettiest places in Fairmount. “Sandringham Veterinary Hospital is not only known to be an outstanding animal hospital but also for its unbelievably attractive garden, planted and lovingly cared for by Dr Roy Israelite and the gardeners,” said Levin.
“Dr Israelite is an outstanding vet who not only takes great pride in his work as a vet but also in his gardens.”
The flowers are planted from seedlings and there are different ones for each season. In summer, white and red waves of petunias are planted and these are a sight to behold. One look at these wonderful flowers and one is in awe of their beauty and the care taken in maintaining them, said Levin.
“In winter, the orange and yellow daisies are planted, thriving in our colder weather as they don’t need the heat of summer to bloom, creating a bright and cheerful sight. It has become a landmark for most,” she said.

“When asked where we are situated, our usual reply is to look for the beautiful flowers down George Avenue, you can’t miss it!” bragged Levin.
She said people can often be seen in the garden taking the occasional ‘floral selfy’ – without even coming to the vet.
“We get phone calls from people telling us how beautiful they are and asking who is responsible for them and further thanking us for the beautiful sight.
“Not only are the gardens well-loved and taken care of, but they are a splash of colour and joy that brightens up the area. For many people it might even be a comfort when having to come in and out of the vet,” said Levin.
