Busselton's best secret . . .
out of the blue in Busselton






This garden stands out from much local Busselton landscaping for its use of a mix of local plants (plus a couple of non-locals) to create a sense of 'garden'. It is one of the best public examples of gardens in Busselton using local plants.

Built on the side of a busy road, Bussell Highway at Broadwater, it is a good example of how to landscape underneath existing Peppermint trees. A conifer from a
n old garden has been 'pruned up' to create extra space for the plantings.

A walking/cycle path winds through the garden.
