WOW - This large garden feels like your own private park land! The acreage property includes a renovated dam (filled with water plants), rolling green lawn beneath towering gums, a cozy firepit space and lots of Australian native plants. Even if you don't have a large space to work with this garden is full of ideas and inspiration.

Designed and construction by Liam Riley and the crew from ID Landscaping this garden design and creation was done in stages, with the oldest areas being planted out 5 years ago. The garden design includes aggregate pathways that connect the various spaces and outdoor rooms. And the plant choice is mostly Australian natives, including some locally indigenous plants. Australian native water plants and bog tolerant plants have been chosen to grow on the sides of the dam and in it's shallows. These help retain the soil and provide habitat for native wildlife including frogs.

Located in Park Orchards this large garden has no front fences, so it embraces the native bush surrounds. A large section of the garden has been dedicated to native bush regeneration and with the removal of many woody weeds including blackberry and Pittosporum undulatum.
