• Another new garden to the site is Rosie Lea a seven-acre lifestyle block that Don and Liz Rosie bought in 2013 as a retirement project. Having been part of a much larger farm for many years, it was a blank slate where they could plan and develop their dream. The land slopes gently to the north, with a view towards the Riverhead Forest and the bush covered hills of the Coatesville Reserve. Unforgiving clay soil and some winter frosts are a limiting factor, but they have learnt to be selective in their planting choices. Shelter hedges have been established on the boundaries, and gardens around the house and further afield are flourishing.

• Rosie Lea is a garden for all seasons with different attractions during the year and we are open by appointment only so please call first.
