Garden ONE 39 Crook Road, Griffith
Jen’s Garden is a source of joy for owners Richard & Jenny Fletcher. The garden began on one acre around the original ‘shed house’. A huge expansion began in 2010 with the digging of the pond. Garden beds were created and planting commenced in winter 2011. The garden is now a three acre farm garden with expansive lush green lawns, garden beds with a mix of native and exotic trees, shrubs and flowers. The garden changes over time and is constantly evolving.

Garden TWO

17 Pedley Road, Hanwood
Nestled behind large hedges is 17 Pedley Road, set out on two acres of what was originally a citrus farm. Since 2001, what began as a few small garden beds and lawn around the house has over time grown into an expansive garden filled with character and charm. The garden is full of large beds filled with a wide array of shrubs, flowering plants, annuals and trees. Surrounding the garden beds are expansive areas of lawn and a large variety of established trees throughout the garden creating beautiful shaded areas. As you wander through the garden, you will find something different around each corner.
