Monto Garden
★★★★★
The garden surrounds the house and extends out across a sloping lawn and planted terraces to a creek. Bold groupings of roses and palms frame the entrance to the house and a paved courtyard and pool area are contained by detailed plantings of palms and cycads. Beyond this and below the house the wetland area is being extended to include seating and links to the woodland walk, Large trees shelter the garden from prevailing winds and there is a variety of planting schemes throughout the garden including dramatic contrasts in form and style. Rock work, paving and stone walls enhance the garden's character.
