The garden has expanded again since opening in 2022, after promising it wouldn’t! Storm damage and late night pondering has led to homemade rock walls, a salvia and iris walk, and a general extension of the garden that has seen, in particular, the orchard more in tune with the rest of the garden.
A potting shed, 10 years in the pipeline has finally been built. The flower paddock continues to provide bunches of flowers that are sold locally.
More sculpture has been added, alongside vintage finds. The garden overall has matured, we still enjoy our beautiful views and the extensive hedging adds structure to the garden. The paddock has had over 60 mature cypress trees removed (due to structural issues) which has lead to more plantings. There'll be perennials, roses and iris in flower at the time of opening.
The garden has outstanding views to Yarra Glen and the Kinglake Ranges and aims to provide interest all year round. Recycled structures and sculptures add to the atmosphere of the garden. Old outbuildings and upcycled pieces are also used to add whimsy to the garden.
There'll be local art for sale in the old mechanics shed.
Please note: Local toilets are located at theGruyere Reserve Killara Rd, approximately 2kms away.
