Garden 3
Ariah Park
132 Breakaway Rd, Acheron
Marian Rennie
Now home to new restaurant,
'Rennies at Acheron' (fast
becoming a hot word of mouth
foodie destination) and the
Marian Rennie studio gallery,
the garden at 'Ariah Park'
continues to delight visitors.
The garden was established in
the early 1950s when
newlyweds Pat and John
Rennie built their own home on
the family property. Over the
years Pat annexed more and
more paddocks to expand her
beloved garden, inspired by the
designs of Edna Walling and
her love of dogwoods (there are
more than 30 in the garden,
providing a spectacular display
each Spring).
John and Pat's daughter Marian
now lends her artist's eye to the
garden, with her
sculpturalmodernist touch
providing a harmonious overlay
to the established cottage
garden.
