The Garden

Here are some of the typical views you will see as you travel the roads, trails and pathways covering over a hundred hectares. We have many beautiful plants from dryland Australia integrated with the natural bush, no manicured lawns and few landscaped displays. For individual plant images, please go to What's Flowering.

Images - Art in the Garden

The marriage of art and science is natural here - Dave Gordon our founder was a keen amateur botanist and Dorothy his wife a talented artist, and today many of our volunteers are artists. Here we show some of the works inspired by the Garden, and some of the subject matter behind the inspirations.

More details of our artworks can be found at Gallery and in our fact sheet (in Acrobat .pdf format)

Angophora Themes

Angophora leiocarpa grows happily and abundantly here. The bark of this eucalypt-like tree undergoes spectacular colour changes in summer, making it a favourite subject for artists and photographers.
