ACT Monaro Riverina Branch: Visit to the Walcott Garden
Join us for our end of year event in the garden of Rosalind and Benjamin Walcott.
The property, in Red Hill, was first developed in 1926. The property was purchased by the French government and used as their Chancery office for many years. Rosalind and Ben purchased the property in 2001 and the planting of this garden began in July 2003.
The garden is planted almost entirely with Australian natives, with a very few New Zealand natives added. The original design of the garden was done by Helen Cohen, who was also part of the firm creating the architectural design of the house.
This is a wonderful garden which features regularly in exclusive national garden tours. A late afternoon guided tour by the owners will be a real treat, followed by refreshments.
Bookings will open in late October.
