83 Mudgee Street, Rylstone
Pat Amos

This garden is of interest for its structural features as much as its plantings.  Note as you enter, the 30cm thick stone wall on 10cm footings, which Pat built herself.  The back stone section of the house was built in the 1890s and of even greater historical interest is the beehive well (read the sign).

Wander along granite paths which take you to the boundaries of the garden, near a bridge, beside a fishpond, beneath arches and under trees (Manchurian pears and Chinese elm).  Honeysuckle, star jasmine and wisteria soften walls and roofs.  Pieces of whimsy hide among the plants.  Pat has chosen hardy plants and waters her garden using well water and recycled household water.

Rylstone Olive Oil will be on sale.
Biscuits, tea and coffee will be available
