| Summary |
Breaking the rules on growing Australian native plants Horse Island, the private retreat of Christina and Trevor Kennedy, sits tucked away in an estuary of Tuross Lake on the South Coast of NSW. To the west, softened by distance, are the mountains of the Great Dividing Range. To the east is the sea. But what is most surprising in this place of great natural beauty is the remarkable garden created by Christina, featuring only Australian indigenous plants. 'The grand, all-shaping theme of Horse Island is the unfolding subtle beauty of the natural landscape, the pulses of light from carefully constructed vistas and the delight in finding banks and sweeps of native plants, many endemic to the area which enhance the natural qualities of the Island. |
