A small variety garden established in 2007. Plantings include bush and standard roses, raised vegie gardens surrounded by trees such as – Kurrajong, Japanese Maples English Elm, Dogwood, Australian Blue Gum, Pencil Cypress and a Black Genoa Fig Tree. Features include retreat gazebo, a Japanese Shrine and associated plants and ornaments, hooped bridges with a pond of multi coloured gold fish and a pergola of Nellie Kellie Passionfruit.

The front garden is old and established with something lovely to show for every season. The garden is planted with bulbs, perennials, shrubs and annuals. The trees are well established. Recently paths were laid to enable better accessibility and enjoyment. The back garden and courtyard has only been established in the last 2 years but already it’s providing herbs and vegetables as well as shade from the Chantilly pear trees. Outside living is most enjoyable even in the cooler months.

This garden commenced as a vacant lot in 2010 following the construction of a new home. The brief was to design a garden to complement the contemporary style and angles of the house and decking. It was also important that each room of the house had a view out into the garden,. Not wanting a flower garden, Michele and Ian set about designing what is predominantly a ‘Green Garden’ full of colours and textures. All four seasons are reflected in the garden design which is accentuated with interesting architectural elements.

We both enjoy our garden. It has taken 23 years to establish the garden from when we bought the house with only dirt on all sides to what we have today. We built the retaining walls ourselves and started planting our trees.

Est 1823 The historic Grange Homestead was built in the mid 1820’s to classic Georgian design. Surrounding the home is an extensive established garden with many mature trees. Covering over 3 acres. The garden flows from tight and intimate cottage garden style to wider and expansive grounds with expansive views of the surrounding countryside.

Built on part of the West family holdings on the Macquarie Plains in 1851. Set in an extensive garden with water features and a silver birch grove. An early observatory is sited beside the driveway.

A beautiful large country garden with lovely views. The garden features areas of large shady trees, under planted with shrubs, perennials, bulbs and ground covers. Annuals feature in the top of an old piece of farm equipment with a small pond nearby. Throughout the whole garden, magnificent, creative metal sculptures of varying shapes and sizes, made by Chris from recycled materials, abound. A more formal front, side garden and back courtyard continues the planting theme and also includes climbing plants over archways and a wisteria walk. A dry creek bed leads down to a Japanese inspired area with red bridges, a red bell, red tori gates, a moon gate and tea house. Bamboos, camellias, azaleas and other shady loving plants complete the scene. Seating throughout the garden allows visitors to rest in the shady, peaceful surroundings.
