Upcoming Open Garden: Sat 31 Oct & Sun 1 Nov: Created by artist and landscaper Carol Sacke and her husband Kevin, this extraordinary garden is a deeply personal expression of creativity, love and remembrance. Set on a former orange farm, it has evolved over the past nine years into a remarkab le collection of beautifully designed garden rooms, each with its own disti nct atmosphere, style and story.
Every inch of the garden speaks to C arol’s creative touch, with ‘garden rooms’ styled like canvases. Discover f ormal gardens alongside indigenous plantings, country cottage borders, whim sical spaces, a Japanese-inspired section, an enchanting fairy garden, a ‘g olfer's green’ and even playful Champagne and Cadbury themed areas. Each ‘r oom’ has been thoughtfully designed as a living work of art, reflecting Car ol's boundless imagination and artistic vision.
A gentle river winds through the property, complemented by seven unique water features that attr act abundant birdlife and create a tranquil soundtrack throughout the garde n. Visitors can also explore the Kelli Belli Gallery, showcasing Carol's ar twork, and enjoy the opportunity to meet the artist herself.
At the h eart of the garden lies Kelli's Garden, a moving tribute to Carol and Kevin 's late daughter, making this a place of beauty, reflection and hope.
