AlexandraOpenGardens: Garden4

The design folloows the natural contours of the land on
many descending levels designed to provide views to
Alexandra and beyond.

A second objective was to provide shade for the house in
summer by planting deciduous, native and exotic trees. In
doing so, Rhonda has had to consider prevailing
environmental conditions. Accordingly plants have been
selected for their ability to withstand drought, frost, heavy
clay and inhospitable soils. This strategy has unfortunately
brought an influx of wildlife into the garaden including
kangaroos, wallabies, deer, wombats and rabbits which
have proved very destructive. In response to this Rhonda
has embarked on a plan to find an unpalatable and
unappetising range of plants and as a result has discoverd
an unusual palette.
