Native Garden Retreat in Moruya 2018

Native Garden Retreat in Moruya

What started as an urgent need to provide shelter from strong winds and blistering sun has evolved into a garden with a framework inspired by lowland grassy woodlands. It is designed to encourage exploration in search of the little treats and surprises provided by Australian plants, along with a sense of peace and reflection. Our natural inclination to collect, and a strong sense of the need to protect and nurture native species, has driven our desire to build small collections of certain genera.

Situated on a gentle slope at Glendeuart and looking south over the small town of Moruya on the Far Southeast Coast of NSW, the garden is about 8kms inland from the ocean. We live in a coastal valley adjacent to a Lowlands Grassy Woodland EEC. A five-minute drive to the west finds you in a series of National Parks and State Forest reserves.
