Bathurst Spring Spectacular 2024

Not Available

The front garden is old and established with something lovely to show for every season. The garden is planted with bulbs, perennials, shrubs and annuals. The trees are well established. Recently paths were laid to enable better accessibility and enjoyment. The back garden and courtyard has only been established in the last 2 years but already it’s providing herbs and vegetables as well as shade from the Chantilly pear trees. Outside living is most enjoyable even in the cooler months.

Nan’s Garden

This garden commenced as a vacant lot in 2010 following the construction of a new home. The brief was to design a garden to complement the contemporary style and angles of the house and decking. It was also important that each room of the house had a view out into the garden. Not wanting a flower garden, Michele and Ian set about designing what is predominantly a ‘Green Garden’ full of colours and textures. All four seasons are reflected in the garden design which is accentuated with interesting architectural elements.

Michele & Ian’s Garden

A small variety garden established in 2007. Plantings include bush and standard roses, raised vegie gardens surrounded by trees such as - Kurrajong, Japanese Maples English Elm, Dogwood, Australian Blue Gum, Pencil Cypress and a Black Genoa Fig Tree.

Features include retreat gazebo, a Japanese Shrine and associated plants and ornaments, hooped bridges with a pond of multi coloured gold fish and a pergola of Nellie Kellie Passionfruit.

The southern garden contains many Tree Ferns and a Wollemi Pine. Hanging baskets of ornamental Carese grasses are set amongst the many potted plants of Hostas, Fuchsias, Australian Native Coreas and Salvias.

Jeff’s Surprise Garden

Our garden is divided into two distinct areas. The backyard is designed as a children’s play space with a lawn roll-down hill, inground trampoline, wall and concrete slab, that has been used as a basketball and racket court. The front yard features a large inground pool, Japanese garden pads defined by retaining walls, hedging and distant views.

The Rocks

We both enjoy our garden. It has taken 23 years to establish the garden from when we bought the house with only dirt on all sides to what we have today. We built the retaining walls ourselves and started planting our trees.
