Open Gardens SA – Turlatina Wirra

With a shared love of gardening and plenty of enthusiasm, Kinda and Stuart have created an eclectic, eco-friendly garden crammed with a rich assortment of plants.
The front yard has a tropical ambience, with a variety of palm trees, lush philodendrons, citrus trees, and flourishing banana plants. A bamboo wall divides the front courtyard, and a serene Buddha statue provides a peaceful backdrop for a meditation retreat.
Kinda’s extensive collection of indoor pot plants has spilled out of the house into an outdoor area where she propagates many different foliage plants, orchids, ferns, and succulents. As well as in pots, they grow in the ground and in hanging baskets, creating lush green layers peppered with splashes of colourful foliage and flowers.
The ponds and the rocky watercourse that trickles through the back garden are Stuart’s vision, and, as well as being an attractive highlight, they also provide habitat for fish, frogs and insects.
The garden is open for 3 days from Saturday 24th to the Monday public holiday on 26 January 2026.
