Garden 1
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.
Garden 2
8 Shelley Beach Road, Surfdale
This beautiful and productive seaside garden is overflowing with glorious flowers, fruit trees, berry plants and a bountiful vege garden. Mary and Simon purchased the flat section overlooking beautiful Putaki Bay fourteen years ago and have created a tranquil haven full of birdsong and fragrant plants.
Garden 3
119 Wilma Road, Ostend
The property comprises 10 acres of vineyard, native bush and paddock with the acre around the house devoted to garden… a ‘work in progress’ which has been going on for 20 years. As Poppy and Jason established the garden, they were keen to create separate spaces for different uses.
Garden 5
200 Te Whau Drive, Te Whau
The owners of this seven-acre property completed the building of their home in 2018 and immediately set about developing the garden…from scratch. Over 6 years they have transformed a ‘post-build’ raw and scarred clay landscape into well-established gardens that feel as if they have always been there.
Garden 6
16 Scotts Terrace, Onetangi
This stunning garden is linked from the roadside entrance to the regenerating Forest & Bird Reserve below, through a series of cascading paths, garden beds and terraces. The Immaculate hard landscaping is largely the handiwork of Margie and her husband John.
