Matthew Thummler and Jocasta Milligan, the directors at Green Revolution Gardens, were initially given the task of regaining control over the property’s two gardens and to develop the under utilised yard of the second house on the property. With such a big task and some big ideas, they worked closely with Sally and a former long-term tenant of the second house to design the garden, pond and waterfall. They undertook all of the soft landscaping and irrigation works, and solicited help from local stonemason Aaron Kelso to build the ironstone walls.
To regain control, the team removed woody weed infestations of holly, privet, cotoneaster, cherry laurel, weedy vines, sweet jasmine, English ivy and honeysuckle. With a clean slate, they were able to make decisions on plant retention, transplanting and remedial pruning, ensuring a great deal of care was taken to retain as much of the garden’s original character as possible.
