Upcoming Gardens

A magical country garden with a large 45-year old oasis rainforest, complete with a majestic banyan (Ficus virens) and many exotic palms and cycads, sits in the centre of a flower and mangoesteen hobby farm. A wide variety of heliconias and gingers, along with many fruit trees, offers plenty of space for visiting children to explore. Two water features add to the ambiance and create a welcome place to sit and relax.

Delightful suburban garden featuring a variety of established tropical trees, shrubs and flowers set in manicured lawns. Great garden outlook from the cool sitting area under the elevated house.

Three separate gardens open on Mothers Day weekend. One in the delightful Batchelor township, and two enjoying rural views and spacious gardens on the township fringes. The Batchelor Markets will be held on Sunday from 8am to 1pm on the Batchelor Oval in conjunction with a Sports Expo sponsored by Coomalie Community Government Council.

Practically an orchard growing citrus and tropical fruit trees, this garden has been beautifully and thoughtfully landscaped over 16 years. NT natives fill in the gaps and reduce water usage. Chooks roam freely, there are ponds for frogs, an outdoor shower and a shady basketball court. A must see for all age groups.

Stunning range of thriving potted plants, shade-loving – aglaonemas, bat plants, desert roses and heaps more. The owner will give desert rose grafting demonstrations during the weekend and is happy to share many useful hints on growing these desirable and popular plants.

This garden spills out on to the nature strip and the adjacent park with massed plantings of flowering and foliage shrubs, perennials and ground covers. Under the elevated house, shade-loving plants – ferns, begonias, spathiphyllums and many more – thrive in beds and baskets, and provide a tropical view for the owners’ very special cats in their comfortable cages.

Brilliant Darwin garden offering a private and cool ambience wonderfully shielded from its busy street corner location. A great range of thriving tropical plants occupies every space, high and low, in the ground, in pots, baskets and on trees.
