The garden will be open on both 6th and 7th April. On each day, there will be talks by the garden owner at 11am, 1pm and 3pm.

Within this garden – where every space is utilised, both horizontally and vertically – not everything is seen at once. There is a rich diversity of botanical specimen trees, selective foliage plants and perennials. ‘Cloud pruning’ of olive trees creates a visual interest. Plantings include many vireyas, begonias, various succulents, edible plantings such as various citrus trees, different currant bushes, and seasonal vegetables. There are meandering paths and quirky garden art pieces. The front garden, with its circular lawn, is surrounded by dense plantings which creates an intimate feeling. Another special feature is that artist Jo Reitze will be painting the garden over the weekend whilst it is open.
