Garden 9
Narbethong Farm'
Maroondah Highway,Narbethong
Cameron & Jan Barnes

This magnificent garden has been in existence for many years but has had major changes and additions during
the last 10 years. This development is evident by its trees - some showing the grandeur of age; others mature and stately. The new part of the garden is growing strongly but has the freshness of youth.

Four dominant features stand out in the garden: a large fountain near the homestead with a backdrop of curved
beds planted with birches; a parterre of English box in an intricate design and an olive grove planted in a paved area.

Acres of green lawn weave around huge enclosures of trees and shrubs with ground covers and perennials in
the appropriate spaces. Every shape and colour of conifer can be seen along the winding driveways and hedges are abundant. Look for the lake with the birdlife enjoying the peace and tranquility of the environment.
Wonderful suprises confront the visitor who ventures into the corners of this garden
