Graeme has been cultivating this remarkable 4-acre plant collector’s garden for over 45 years. The garden boasts more than 800 individually tagged Camellias, along with Maples, Azaleas, Magnolias, Pieris hedges, and a Wollemi pine. Remnant rainforest blends with original trees from the old dairy farm days, as well as bromeliads, succulents, and a rose garden. It’s a garden that rewards slow wandering and close looking.
