About this Project

Eltham

Eltham Garden is a native garden that represents the history of the location and takes advantage of the borrowed landscape from the adjoining nature reserve. Recycled brick, gravel, and timber furniture tie in with the house's mud brick facade, while the planting offers layers of greens, greys, and flowering shrubs, creating seasonal interest.

Every season unveils a new tapestry of colour and texture.

Recycled brick, gravel, and timber furniture tie in with the house's mud brick facade at Project 3 – Eltham.

Eremophila nivea 'Emu Bush' is a striking silver foliage plant with purple flowers in spring and summer.

Native planting creates low-maintenance seasonal interest.

The garden seamlessly blends with the surrounding views of the adjacent nature reserve.
