The property as a whole is being developed as a
demonstration unit for how trees can be used on
farms. The arboretum concept developing out
of this makes this a unique and fascinating
garden and demonstrates how trees can be used
to provide the 'bones' of a great garden.

Each year new and different trees are added so
that there is both a commercial and an amenity
value attached to most of the trees. Small
groups of amenity trees will remain after harvest
of the timber trees.

Constantly changing landscape through the
seasons has been a spin off from developing this
idea.

Mulch from chipping the thinned plantation trees
has been used extensively.
