Grey Garden

Discover the Grey Garden.

Grey plants are sometimes overlooked but grey and green complement each other beautifully.

In the Grey Garden Collection grey plants stand on their own with a surprising variety of textures and forms. Importantly, with such strategies as hairy, waxy, or succulent leaves, grey plants require little water making them perfect for an increasingly hot and dry climate.

Connecting to Country 

This Collection is on the traditional lands of the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung people. As you explore the Gardens you will see four colours and four words in Woi-wurrung language on the signs to reflect the Traditional Owners’ connection to Country and this particular place. The word narnerbunnul refers to the high points in landscape in Woi-wurrung and the signs in this area have orange highlights.
