established. But it was included in the tour as an<br />
elegant example of what canbeachieved in ashort<br />
time.<br />
It is owned by landscape contracting business<br />
owners Sally and Grant Stewart.<br />
‘‘We thought it was too soon to show the garden,’’<br />
Sallysaid.<br />
However, they werepersuaded to open the garden<br />
to the public for the tour and were pleasedwith the<br />
response received.<br />
The spacious garden is an eclectic mix, with alarge<br />
planted bankofnative trees andshrubs creating a<br />
forest of shelter.<br />
Hedging, pergolas, walkways and ahuge lawnadd<br />
interest, with alargeentertainmentarea nestled<br />
around the house.<br />
It is also agardenofstatues, small and large,dotted<br />
here and there, and prolific birdlife,including a<br />
resident bellbird, which leftfor the day. ‘‘No doubt it<br />
will be back when everyone is gone,’’ Sally said.<br />
