Hazelgrove – a haven for wildlife and people

1857 Bylong Valley Road, Kandos (opposite Henbury Golf Course)
Bonnie and Peter Farrell

Starting with an almost bare landscape, Peter and Bonnie took into account drainage, soil, heat and frost in selecting and planting their hectare garden. This has resulted in a flourishing mix of native, exotic, hardy and edible plants. 

They have created a waterwise environment through rainwater collection, extensive mulching and drip irrigation, and they source waste materials to fertilise their garden and create inspired garden art. 

Wander through the native garden at the front and an extensive parkland at the rear, including an elf garden, unusual paths, unique garden art and numerous ponds. Feel free to amble into the sheep and chook paddock where you can peep into the propagation room and hot house. Don’t forget to visit the extensive vegetable garden plots, the orchard and frost-sensitive room on the southern side of the house. And when you are tired, rest on one of the many garden seats. 

Catering will be provided by Delumptious.
