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.
