Garden 1

Robin and Graham Radford
14 Tawa Street, Oneroa

Ten years ago, this ½ acre garden presented its new owners with little more than a steep slope, an olive tree, a few fruit trees, a lot of punga and a view over magical Little Oneroa Bay.  Robin and Graham set about developing the property by introducing garden-lined paths. Their creative landscaping now makes it an easy wander down the slope to a lushly underplanted punga grove. The emphasis is on colour and exotic texture, both are amply provided by a rich variety of plants including hibiscus, canna and numerous large potted specimens of bromeliad and geranium. 

There are several highly productive, large, raised vegetable beds and still that lovely view over Little Oneroa Bay.
