The Garden has been featured in the Courier Mail, Sunday Mail and on Briz31 and Channel NineÂs Saturday Afternoon.

Our tropical garden features an abundance of sun tolerant, shade and semi shade plants and an extensive collection of anthuriums, alocasias, bromeliads, calatheas, cordylines, heliconias, gingers, philodendrons and many other exotic species. Boardwalks lead into garden areas with dense plantings at edges over ponds with streams and waterfalls.

The front garden is full of bromeliads and other tropical plants that will tolerate the full sun conditions of BrisbaneÂs western suburbs with minimal shade.

An extensive collection of Cordylines are also featured.

Harmony and tranquillity plays an important part with numerous water features and seating areas established throughout the garden.

With a cane toad proof perimeter, the garden provides a safe home to seven species of frogs.

Many tropical plants will be available for sale including new release cordylines.

This is a garden that tropical plant enthusiasts should not miss.
