Stellenberg Garden visit 11 October 2016




Leaving a cold and drizzly Elgin Valley behind, we head off to Kenilworth for our 7 th garden club outing of 2016.
The head gardener Athol hosted our 10.30 am tour of the Stellenberg Gardens and homestead of Andrew and Sandy Ovenstone.

Hedges are trimmed every two weeks to keep them looking pristine


I couldn't resist these two mossy lions on either side of the steps

It was lovely to have Francie's daughter along for this garden visit.
