A lovely English style garden
21 Adair Street, Maldon
Not far from the main street of Maldon is ‘Gloucester House’. It is a Victorian house with an English style garden featuring gravel paths lined with box hedges.
Garden ‘rooms’ have been created using both privet and lilly pilly hedges. Amongst other cottage plants, there are box balls, pencil pines, shaped standard lilly pillies, roses, lavender, hellebores, salvias, irises, white crepe myrtles and Japanese maples.
In the back garden, an outdoor eating area is defined by a pagola covered in ornamental grape vines. There is also a young Chinese Elm beginning to provide shade from the summer heat. A grassed area features a very useful old-fashioned post and rope clothes line, whilst a potting bench fits neatly at the
end of a guest bedroom studio.
There is also the original old wash house in the back garden. This has now become the garden & wood shed. Inside is the old copper with it’s chimney, where every year a pair of crimson rosellas makes a nest and rear their young.
The back garden also features an area that has raised vegetable beds bordered with old iron bedheads.
