A garden for all seasons which delights the visitor. Started in 1988, it features cottage, woodland and Japanese style gardens, water features and borders of perennials with a particular emphasis on southern hemisphere plants. Unusual plants for the plantsman to enjoy, many grown from seed.

Many visitors have asked to see the garden at different times, so this year we have open days from 11.00 until 4.00pm and one evening opening in June which will be accompanied by wine and cheese.
This level garden was started in 1988. Eucalyptus trees provide shelter and there are many complementary southern hemisphere plants as well, notably correas, corokias, grevillea, westringia, as well as interesting woodlanders.
