Stands of liquidambars and ornamental pear trees, fence lines of smaragd and spartan c...onifers, a parkland area and a silver birch grove underplanted with bluebells lead you through the property to the main garden brimming with standard roses, hybrid teas, irises, hebes, pittosporums, nandinas, buxus hedges, Japanese maples, weeping cherries and crabapples, lavender and ground covers all over the gardens with daffodil underplantings. There is also a well-designed orchard with, pear, apple, peach, nectarine, plum, and fig trees, and six elevated vegetable gardens.

21.01.2022 The Jackson’s small town garden is a testament of their love of gardening, sharing and the appreciation of cool climate plants. From an empty block, lots of hand collected rocks were used for dry stone walls and paths under Japanese maples. Ray’s keen hand skills are evident throughout the garden while Anne’s love is the soil, plants and creating areas that work. Roses, hellebores, clematis, heuchera and Japanese maples share the garden space.

18.01.2022 The Walshes started to develop the garden on their 10-acre property in 2015 after deciding to retire permanently to their rural retreat. Designed by Lorna Vallely, it is a lovely but still emerging garden. Crabapples frame the driveway that leads to the house anchored on the hilltop, which provides magnificent 270 degree views from its verandas of the valleys below. At the house, the rose garden greets you with a mixture of heritage and hybrid roses. Crushed granite paths l...ead you through the pergola to a beautiful garden brimming with native plants, irises, bulbs, English lavender, seaside daises, roses, catmint and camellias. Large granite boulders form a feature garden which is still under development, and a dry stone wall frames the lawn and an outdoor entertaining area which has ornamental grape draped over its pergola. The rear of the house has island beds with magnolia, crepe myrtle, pomegranate, quince and Japanese maple to name a few, with a viburnum hedge separating the garden from an orchard.

16.01.2022 ‘Loghren’ is a beautiful 2 acre property bought by Michael and Lynne Keane in 2011. Since acquiring ‘Loghren’, quite a few things have changed with the focus being on large plantings of wonderful combinations of camelias, rhododendrons and hellebores. The garden has many mature trees including linden, silver birch, aspen poplars, golden ash, variegated elms, crabapples, dogwood and many more, all of which combine beautifully with the local gum trees and the large expanses of lawn areas. Additionally, Michael has created paths and walking tracks around three boundaries of the property.

04.01.2022 'ASTIDEN SPRINGS' The ‘Astiden Springs’ garden owned by Virginia King and Ken Watson started from a blank canvas in late 2015. Designed by Lorna Vallely, five years on it complements the ultra-modern eco house and clearly reflects the vision that the owners have for their property. Sweeping lawns from the house, past the pool to the north draw your eye to the magnificent old peppermint gum featured in the landscape. Following Virginia and Ken’s brief, the garden was crafted t...o showcase what can be achieved, combining natives, roses and exotics. Vegetable growing areas feature along with olive trees, an espaliered orchard and plantings of 104 trees including a treasured Wollemi pine; weeping, Chinese, Japanese and golden elms; ornamental pears, claret and white ash, a ginko, Irish strawberry, tulip and London plane trees. A stone wall built from local stone protects the south garden and borders the driveway leading you to this beautiful hidden landscape.
