The garden consists of hardy drought tolerant plants. Geraniums, salvias, bromeliades, durantas, and succulents create a tapestry of different colours and textures.
Weathered gates and troughs, old farm machinery and rustic relics from the past are repurposed as garden ornaments reminiscent of days gone by.
Shade loving plants find their home in bush houses and under trees protected from the summer sun and winter frosts.
The result is a practical yet soulful space which brings joy to all who visit.

Set high on the hill opposite St Anne’s Anglican Church this garden was established by Mrs Ruttledge with the help of a very good friend of Enda Walling, Jocelyn Brown. The planning and plantings of this garden are superb with drifts of roses, tumbling bougainvillea, walls of perennials and shrubs all backed by the magnificent views across the plain.
