Blue House 2 35 Willowside Place, Amberley Hosts: Jenny Cooper & Chris Raateland This is not so much a garden as a balancing act. It is a balancing act between a love of order, and a belief in wildness. Between an obsession with plants, and there only being 24 hours in a day. Between a limited budget and all the lovely things one can order off the internet. And between having an acre of land and wanting the occasional sit down! 9 years ago, this was an exposed sheep paddock. Now we have a stimulating mix of gardens, from the intimate and cool shade gardens, past perennial borders crammed with flowers, through Mediterranean and gravel gardens featuring stunning succulents and architectural plants, and further out to sweeps of tussocks and an iris filled bog garden. We have a gorgeous no-mow meadow, a tiny vineyard, a ‘bee’ garden of natives, and a super productive vege garden and orchard. We are always trying novel ways to cope with drought and 2 Anderson Street, Amberley still achieve a lush garden that is a pleasure to wander through.

Cottage’) is 157 years old - Amberley’s oldest dwelling, We’re here for the good of the country. built in 1864, the year that Amberley was subdivided. Since moving here 3 years ago I have been incrementally renovating her ailing and leaning timbers, as funds allow. My hopes are to bring her back from the brink, or at the very least, squeeze a few final decades out of her. Behind my home lies a wonderful workshop where I create welded steel sculptures, mostly of life-sized birds and animals, in a filigree style. I work alone so it will be a real thrill to showcase my working studio to an audience for a change. Gardening plays an equally important role in my life as I attempt to tread as lightly on the earth as possible. I make compost onsite in bulk to sustain my organic no- dig productive property, creating an almost closed loop system. Now, in my fourth season here, I am finding which crops thrive here and which varieties are proving trickier. There’s always lessons to be learnt from gardening. This is a simple and joy-filled life that I am very pleased to be sharing during this year’s Hurunui Garden Festival. I hope to meet many new faces and show you my adventures into a life less complicated. Phone: 027 654 9771 www.sharonearl.com Learn more about Sharon on Facebook.

Raymond Herber’s workshop is situated in the old Amberley Lime 03 308 6638 | latitudemagazine.co.nz Works, which is now known as Iron Ridge Quarry Sculpture Park. The Sculpture Park is a vast amphitheatre that has been carved out of the limestone over the generations for the local farmers keen to use this fine lime. Raymond purchased the property in 1997 and since then he has transformed it from a white dusty derelict quarry into a magical outdoor exhibition space. This was no small task, Raymond purchased a 20 ton excavator and a 10 ton tip truck, moving 350 truckloads of topsoil onto the property from a neighbouring farm. Raymond played with his Tonka toys for many years to create an environment for plants to grow. Hardy natives are the plants of choice given the tough dry climate. This is a place like no other and people now come from far and wide to picnic, spend time and enjoy this stunning setting. Raymond’s beautiful and sometimes wacky works on display throughout the property are guaranteed to entertain and inspire all ages.

Kintail 9 412 Karaka Road, Waikari Hosts: Vicky & Peter Black It has been 34 years since the original house was moved onto an exposed ridge. Underlying rotten rock has made planting difficult, but with shelter and clever planning, a garden eventually took shape. Considerable earthworks were undertaken to establish lawns on three levels. Pencil Cyprus conifers frame beautiful views over farmland with Mounts Tekoa and Lyford in the distance. Mass plantings of agapanthus help keep banks stable and enhance rock walls. Teucrium and buxus hedging have been used to create separate areas. A new native corner has recently been developed on the south-west corner giving views out to Mount Mason and the Waikari Valley. White Iceberg roses occupy the gardens nearest the house, while an array of trees including poplars, oaks, beech, elms and flowering cherries compliment the further corners of the garden.

Waihui 15 395 Sandersons Road, Rotherham Hosts: Meg & Tom Macfarlane The garden at Waihui as you see it today has grown and extended over the last 30 years, as we learnt what would survive the wind, snow, extreme heat and hydroponic- type conditions. Years of mulching and watering allowed us to establish a firm base , with over 170 roses in a selection of vibrant colours, native areas and rhododendron and woodland areas. Being inspired by the Australian landscape designer, Paul Bangay, we have incorporated lots of hedges, balls, knot gardens and a unique “window” hedge that peaks into a private garden we enjoy from our bedroom and bath! Although renown for our roses, we also take pride in our native areas, and enjoy mixing exotics with natives to achieve colour and form from early spring right through to summer and autumn. Bevelled hedges help connect the series of garden rooms, and a new park area is in the process of being established, with pin oaks being the basis of this new area – and extending the garden to just under two hectares.

50 | Hurunui Garden Festival 28th – 31st October 2021 | 51 Garden for high-flyers

The Geens 16 19 Coleridge Street, Hanmer Springs Hosts: Dorothy & John Geen You know when your garden planting is successful, and that’s when no one, including the birds, want to leave. While the garden is just 14 years old, thoughtful planting of trees that offer both habitat and a food source for the birds has already paid off, with korimako (bellbird), tui and kereru (wood pigeon) all regular visitors. For the last few years bellbirds have raised fledglings in the garden. Set against the backdrop of the Hanmer Mountain Range, you’ll notice the garden brings together formal and informal design ideas, planted with a range of exotic, native, flowering and foliage plants to give year- round colour and texture. You’ll see delightful combinations of conifers and kowhai, griselinias and maples, rhododendrons and flax, layered at the borders to give depth to the garden. The use of pots, tubs and garden art interspersed throughout the garden complements the planting, and provides added appeal for human visitors as well as the birds.

The 2-hectare garden is a showcase of rhododendrons including rare unnamed varieties bred by the previous owner Murray Elliot. It is a rewarding challenge for rhododendron enthusiasts to see how many varieties they can name! The garden was begun only 27 years ago but the frost- free microclimate has enabled some plants to grow 6-7 metres tall. A variety of sun loving and drought tolerant succulents, agaves and proteas flourish. In another area there is an extensive range of orchard fruit, citrus trees and avocados. Roses are sprinkled around the garden flower almost all year round and new perennial beds have been established. Sensible shoes are necessary as some areas are steep.
