Sketch of Garden Plan
Miss Campbell laid the garden out in an Edna Walling style with paths, marked out by granite, wandering along the contours of the east facing hill. The stone lined paths continue under the current boundary fences into 4 and 6 Rivington Avenue to the east and 8 Owen Street to the south indicating the property was once larger.
Shrubs consist chiefly of Azalea, Carmellia, Rhododendrons, Hydrangeas, Wisteria Fuchias, and Christmas Roses (Helleborus) whilst the notable trees are 3 large Copper Beech, (Fagus sylvatica) Acers (grafted ornamental Maples and standard Japanese Maples), Magnolia, Ash, Silver Birch, Cabbage Tree Palm (Livistona) Sweet Chestnut, Sycamore, purple leaved Ornamental Plum (being ravaged by Possums), Barberyy (Berberis) small Oak sprouted from the Oak trees in Owen Street, together with Tree Ferns (Cyathea) Blackwood, Pittosporum and conifers including the Yew, Japanese Cedar (Cryptomerra japonica Elegans) along the drive-way (see 6 young trees along Owen Street second photo-montage) and a very large Cupressus (and in 6 Rivington Avenue an enormous Himalayan Cedar).
