Early historical records indicate the presence of a rose garden around the homestead. Unfortunately today nothing remains of the orginal rose garden. As with most things, gardens evolve over time as tastes and trends change. So we have designed a formal rose garden around the front verandah. We have chosen to use traditional roses and compliment them with box hedging.

Here you can see the start of the garden. Under the blue skip is paving stones which where laid in the late 1990s. They have been removed and the Rose garden beds established.
