This garden is now close to maturity since its beginning 16 years’ ago when it was a steep slope covered in lantana. It is inspirational to see the photos taken at  the beginning and compare them with how it is today  with it’s well constructed terraces . A generous mix of sub-tropical and temperate plants gives it year round colour and interest.

Rowena is the owner and creator of the garden and felt drawn to help the Fijians after the Cyclone as she has travelled and lived in Levuka on  the Island of Ovalau over several years.
You are welcome to come to the Open garden to help support this cause and ,of course, get loads of garden ideas.
