South Domain
β β β β
Pleasantly situated just across from the lake, this garden is unexpected in such a locality. A children's railway runs through one part and it also includes a much-used playground and Superloo. The lake side portion is devoted entirely to a well-chosen and well -cared for selection of native trees ornamented by stone sculptures. A long mixed border leads along the far perimeter where a fine selection of plant material can be seen. An excellent and quite large rose garden well-labelled and well-tended can be found on the other side of the museum building. Maintenance throughout is of a high standard. Noteworthy too is the Ora Garden (gold award at the 2004 Chelsea Flower Show) which has been faithfully recreated within the Museum complex. It is permanently on view.
