Serene Habitats open 10th September 10am – 3pm
This is an eclectic garden clinging to the steep incline of an old CALM gravel pit in town. At just 17 years old, it has overcome adversity and blossomed in to an interesting garden with a variety of plants and garden art.
It is possible to walk down 5 steps and look down on much of the garden from the house veranda/decks and the top garden is accessible from these steps. The garden at the rear of the property is accessible to those more steady on their feet and the very back of the property is….well…pretty feral.
Serena Terry, the owner, is an experienced garden designer and will answer any questions on design, plants and gardening throughout the day.
