An AMAZING garden that astonished us all from the time we drove into the palm lined driveway until we left - still shaking our heads about the hard work and vision that we had seen. MASSES of stunning bromelliads ...not usually a fan but I'm a convert now! Wonderful to see superb trees- both native and exotic - and clever plantings.Ann + Graham have created a beautiful ,interesting garden with both skill and foresight....there was always something lovely to see....such a treat.
Beautiful,intriguing and wonderfully cared for garden in Howick...full of lovely roses and plants. Val is a wonderful hostess and always thinking of her guests. The garden is easy to navigate with no steps/uneven lawn...crammed with points of interest and charm.
Thank you very much for our visit today. Your kindness and hospitality is very much appreciated. Your garden is a real credit to you both.
"Jon and Shirley. Thank you for your talk, lunch and beautiful garden! We have all enjoyed this visit very much. Ladies are still commenting on their lovely day at your place! "
We were part of a group of cyclists doing the Laughing Moa cycle trail, and it was suggested we stop and visit the garden on the way. It was a lovely spot to eat our packed lunches and hear about the history of the house and garden from Amanda. The garden is lovely, and Amanda and her dogs were wonderful and entertaining hosts. If you are doing the cycle trail, it's well worth a stop-off.
" On behalf of the Hillcrest Garden Club, I would like to thank you both sincerely for our visit today. You have a beautiful garden and home , and we feel very fortunate to have experienced it all today. Your journey has been truly admirable given all the ups and downs you encountered along the way"
I just wanted to thank you for allowing my twin sister and me to visit your amazing property last week. What an absolute inspiration and delight you are Judy. You’ve kept that dream alive after your dear husband passed and I think it’s keeping you going!! We so enjoyed the experience, swapping our funny gardening stories and seeing your beautiful garden. The photos don’t do it justice but I created a post on my own page, The Uralla Garden. Hope you don’t mind. I used some of the photos from your website but captioned them as such.
Hope you are well and once again thank you Judy
