Berry Gardens Festival Archive
Take a stroll down memory lane and explore the stunning gardens from previous Berry Gardens Festivals. Discover the unique designs, creative landscaping, and breathtaking plantings that have captivated visitors year after year.
42 Edward Street, Berry
Espaliered fruit trees border the street in this town garden. Just beyond are countless edibles tucked in amongst other ornamentals and in pots galore, many of which form ingredients for Petch’s native Thai cuisine. The adjoining creek is being regenerated with native species and the bygone treehouse is now home to a happy bee hive.
South Coast Bamboo
Secluded from the outside world, this unique property is brimming with the most amazing collection of plants, from cold hardy bamboos, rare and spectacular giant bromeliads, cordyline, yuccas, ginger, colourful grasses and palms. Come and be inspired by a designer who’s made a career out of creating magical tropical and dry gardens.
Tindalls Cottage
This quintessential heritage listed Berry cottage (1862) sits on over an acre on the banks of Broughton Mill Creek. The garden includes a mix of native and ornamental plantings, water features and extensive vegetable gardens, including six wicking beds. Take a wander down to the paddock where you’ll find chooks, compost bays, citrus, abundant vegetable beds and a rose picking garden.
The Schoolhouse
Once a school yard in the 1870s, this garden started as a humble potato field after the school closed in 1943. It is now a stunning residential garden with canopy trees and shrinking lawns. Paths lead visitors through a sequence of ‘rooms’ and a controlled riot of garden evolution – Gondwana to Bali, you’ll find camellias, Japanese maples, tree ferns, Wollemi Pines, bamboo and bromeliads to delight.
The Drawing Rooms
This property is located below Broughton Head on 6 hectares with native bushland, wide expanses of lawns and a variety of garden styles. Since 2018 the new owners have added a terrace with pool, a chook pen, an orchard and new gardens. The wonderful views and topography are a significant feature. The property also offers holiday accommodation, so it seeks to provide year-round visual interest for their guests.
