A coastal garden with water feature, flowers & outdoor entertaining space 🌱 Behind the Garden Gate

Explore a coastal garden in Fairhaven, Victoria, where gardening meets seaside resilience! 🌊

In this video take you behind the garden gate to discover this family-friendly paradise filled with great garden ideas and stunning features including a pond & water feature, pizza oven, outdoor entertaining space and lots and lots of flowers!

This space celebrates the colour and joy of gardening in Australia - even in harsh coastal conditions. Battling wild weather and salty air, the front garden showcases hardy plants like Casuarinas, Correa, and grasses, creating a buffer against the elements.

The whole garden is now a private oasis designed by Carolyn and the team from Ocean Road Landscaping.

In 2020, they transformed the blank and boring sloped garden into a vibrant space with a restored pond, a flourishing flower garden, and a welcoming pizza oven. The pond, a central feature, attracts birds, frogs, and lizards, becoming a year-round haven. A cleverly designed flower picking garden replaces the lawn, offering low maintenance and a delightful resting spot.

The water feature also includes a unique bowl at the top of the waterfall - a result of spliting rocks using wedge and feather technique. The owners have had to embrace a random patch of coastal clay in the picking garden space, where trial and error lead to a harmonious blend of purple, yellow, and orange flowers.

You'll LOVE the majestic angophora and the privacy-enhancing screening plants, including an impressive banksia hedge. The stone-walled pizza oven area, adorned with 'Cousin It' casuarina and Goldfever Grevillea, is such a welcoming outdoor entertaining space. If you need some shade a cool spot to relax, you can enjoy the shade on the back deck, a perfect retreat close to the house, but still connected to the outdoors. And if you're sandy from the beach, a convenient outdoor shower awaits too. Which plant caught your eye?
