I had a very enjoyable day out recently, attending an open gardens day in aid of HEARTKIDS, a fund-raising organisation supporting children with congenital or acquired heart conditions.
My dear friend Trish Muir, opened her garden in support of this event and what a treat it was! The immaculate, intimate garden that surrounds their pretty weatherboard house revealed all sorts of treasures! The garden on their estate, Old Fernbrook Farm, was originally designed by Peter Fudge . Over the years, Trish has added numerous beautiful outbuildings, a barn, and many more garden features. Trish is a lady of great style and impeccable taste and each and every piece in her garden has been found in places all over the world as well as here in Australia. Trish enjoys commissioning Australian artists and is a great supporter of the local community as a whole.

Thank you Beth and Kristy for stopping by. The hedges are incrediblel! xx
Thank you Heidi … it is the most special garden and such care is exercised in the maintenance… My friend works very hard at it all! I miss the moss from the farm as we don't really get it here in Bowral…except on the brick paving where I don't want it!! xx
Ooh.. thanks for this grand tour Jenny.. you certainly did a fab job of the posting.. cheers to Trish and her helpers on this immaculate garden.. it certainly must take her hours and hours.. such dedication is to be admired for sure..
Beautiful and verdant, it would have been hard to leave. Do you know if Trish is related to John Muir, the preservationist? xx Rié
Jenny how kind of Trish to open her garden for such a good cause. What a truly elegant garden. And how beautifully you photographed it! I'm in a garden club up here which does a trip each year – this year it's to Toowoomba, but my brain is now hopping forward to next year and wondering about the southern highlands!!
