Clifton Gardens, Michael's brainchild, is home to 10 acres of lifestyle block with 3 acres of garden. He started planting in 2002 with many natives around the boundaries and it has grown from there. You will see tropical areas, shady areas, perennials, annuals, bulbs, rhodos, and many more.  The grounds are still developing and Michael has plans to keep adding new areas in the future. 

Clifton Gardens is 5 minutes for Arylies Gardens, so the 2 gardens the cafes, and the gift shop in the Whitford Village make for a full day out.

Michael loves gardening but also runs a busy business. He may not always be available for visitors but his mother Shirley is happy to tell people about the garden.  He has all the toys to move the many truck loads of mulch that get dumped on the property.  And of course, an endless supply of horse poo as sister Amanda has 3 horses.  

The garden is 3 acres so allow 2-3 hours for your visit.
