The Mosaic Garden is a unique garden crammed with spectacular mosaics – Anne Martin creates mosaic masterpieces!
Topiary pear trees laden with ripe yellow fruit, vines dripping with plump green grapes, pencil pines in pretty pots, birds, leafy sea dragons, flowers, fish and fountains are just some of the stars of her unique, colourful garden – and they are all made of mosaic! Anne’s front garden is planted with Australian natives, so she has created several mosaic pieces in earthy colours to complement the planting. From the lovely old Lychgate at the entrance, a wide path is decorated with circles of coloured pebbles, bricks and pavers, with a stunning large urn mosaicked in the colours of the surrounding flowers as the centrepiece. Further into the garden, sitting amongst the foliage, are three brightly tiled plinths topped with terracotta water bowls. In the back garden, several walls have been transformed with mosaics; the spectacular wood oven is tiled to depict a feast, and the top of the outdoor table is a ceramic banquet! Anne’s creative and complex designs have embellished pots, urns, and water bowls.
Extra Activities: Walk and talk with Anne at 11am and 2pm each day. Morning and afternoon teas. Plant sales by Tupelo Grove.
