Two stunning private gardens in Point Lonsdale will open for the public thanks to Open Gardens Victoria.
Featured recently in ‘Gardening Australia’ magazine, Winterley Road is a stunning garden created on a large coastal block.
When owners Warwick and Marg Hutchins purchased the property in 2015, it was the established garden that caught keen gardener Marg’s eye. Filled with unique plant specimens collected by the previous owner, her brief to Scott Leung, principal landscape designer at Eckersley Garden Architecture, was to retain as much as possible.
Now divided into five distinct areas, each with its own ambience, Scott’s design invites visitors on a delight-filled journey. The result is a beautifully layered garden, full of variety and interest.
Nearby is Pablo’s Bloom, a super compact 160-metre square garden. Designed by Alex Cherry from Ocean Road Landscaping, this young garden draws inspiration from Peter Shaw’s coastal masterpiece Sunnymeade in Anglesea.
With its charming lakeside position, Pablo’s Bloom is an inspirational must-see for home owners grappling with garden ideas for small blocks. Nestled in the embrace of its unique location, this garden and home celebrates the vistas of the waterways and the native vegetation to the south, seamlessly integrated into its urban surroundings.
Winterley Road and Pablo’s Bloom in Point Lonsdale will open up on Saturday 14 and Sunday 15 October. See opengardensvictoria.org.au/Point-Lonsdale-Garden and opengardensvictoria.org.au/Pablos-Bloom
