Visitors will enjoy garden beds jam-packed with an enormous range of native and exotic shrubs happily blended together, many of them rare or unusual. The fan-shaped 1,200 sq metre hillside block slopes steeply south and offers expansive views of the Tuggeranong Valley and ranges beyond. The slope lends itself to terracing and interesting use of its varying levels, with meandering pathways, stairs, stone retaining walls and a bubbling pond. The owners have spent over 30 years modifying and extending the original 1980 garden, converting all lawns into plant beds along the way. Their aim is to have something interesting happening year round, although mid-spring is definitely one of the peak times, featuring Correas, Rhododendrons, Cliveas, Emu Bushes, Alyogynes, true Geraniums and an enormous Grass Tree – to name but a few. A feast for any plant lover!

We will have for sale many plants from our garden, raised from cuttings and seedlings.
We hope you enjoy the unusual plants and be inspired to try some yourselves.
