The Traveller’s Garden
10am to 4pm, 11th and 12th October 2025

A compact yet thoughtfully designed garden featuring a blend of exotic and native plants. The abundant planting reflects both cool climate Canberra and the owner’s native Brazil. The outdoor spaces provide inviting areas for relaxation, with carefully arranged seating nooks. Water features and striking sculptures add visual interest. Layered planting, in both containers and garden beds, ensures that the garden remains green throughout the year. Tucked away in a back corner is a surprisingly effective edible patch, with seasonal veg, herbs and even some fruit trees. This garden may be short on space but is brimming with inspiring design and planting ideas!
Notes
- Street parking only.
- The closest toilets are at Florey shops.
