La Hacienda – Open Sat 4 & Sun 5 Oct 10am-4pm

This amazing garden develops and changes annually as Mary adds new rooms and artwork to her garden, reflecting her artistic talent and ability to create beautiful and sustainable spaces. La Hacienda sits on a 2 ½ acre site which Mary began developing 45 years ago and her passion shines through. This stunning garden is a testament to her ingenuity and creativity with Mary masterfully stitching together an eclectic mix of plants bursting with colour, texture and form.

A Creative and Meticulously Designed Garden – Open Sat 4 & Sun 5 Oct 10am-4pm

$10 per garden – Book 3 gardens in advance $25 (excluding Elverd’s Cottage)

Responding to the drying climate this meticulously planned and thoughtfully planted garden is surprisingly only 4 years old and was the result of the new owners receiving an unexpectedly high water bill. Without any gardening experience, Stephen and Devine transformed their corner site in the centre of Kojonup into a water efficient garden to entertain their family and friends. The couple’s passion for their garden is obvious and every spare moment is invested into this sculptural garden which they designed and developed from a blank canvas.
