Work commenced on this almost 1000 square metre property in April 1975 and has continued unabated since. The front garden consists of four terraces with the bottom terrace featuring a gabion wall and the top terrace being strongly influenced by the owners’ travels in Asia. Of particular note are the Torii gate, spill bowl and 15 cut leaf maples of different varieties, which turn to splendid reds and oranges in autumn.
The enclosed private back garden consists of a series of outdoor rooms – a back deck off the house with spa; an entertainment area off the guest studio; lawn area, with dry stone creek and green walls; a Mediterranean style courtyard; a hidden service area; a Silver Birch forest; and a Fernery. There are over 200 containers of plants around the property, 58 trees and 6 water features, amongst other items of interest.
The whole property is supported by a dripper system with 5 water tanks (capacity 13500 Litres).

Established bonsai plants will be on display.

A variety of garden items will be available for cash sales, along with handmade jewellery.

The Wright Place Garden Notes are available.
