Located at the centre of Reid, this well-established garden is enclosed by a curved camellia ‘Yuletide’ hedge. Behind it is a lawn area with leafy borders featuring a variety of maples. In the back garden a formal area near the house features hedges and clipped balls, along with fruit and flowering trees and a small vegetable garden. Autumn brings scarlet tones to the large vine-coloured pergola while in a secluded   corner an enormous old fig tree stands proud. At the rear the garden takes on a wilder aspect with bulbs and groundcovers sheltering beneath birch trees. Over time the garden has been adapted to change with family needs, maturing plants and the climate.

Notes: Street parking is available. The nearest toilets are at Campbell shops or in the city.  A plant sale will be held by First Canberra Garden Club. It is largely accessible to prams. Wheelchair access is limited but it is suitable for walking frames.

NOTE: On Sunday the 13 April there will be a number of road closures in and around the City Centre and its tributary roads. This is due to the Canberra Marathon. Please find a map of the road closures and alternate routes here.
