The Grounds
The garden was designed and created by Dymphna and Manning Clark, with the assistance of their family.
It may be divided into three distinct, yet related areas including the kitchen garden, the garden between the house and Tasmania Circle and the terraced lawns below the house.
-
The two courtyards created by the peninsula of the house are each softened by their own distinctive climbers. The courtyard facing the entrance of the house features the ornamental grape (Vitis alicante), and the courtyard onto which Manning Clark’s study looked, is framed by wisteria.
-
The terraced lawns below the house finish at the japonica hedge, and is overlooked by the study.
-
The kitchen garden consists of a vegetable patch, fruit trees and chook shed.
