Porcupine Villa – Maldon

A rustic garden crafted from a harsh environment


Rock gardens, deciduous trees and a network of paths harbor hardy plants
that must survive the extremes of heat and cold.


The addition of cottage and Japanese elements to shady Chinese elms and a large oak tree make this an unusual and charming garden.

The garden has a small vegetable patch as well as a small orchard and features two dams, a ruin, a bridge over the ephemeral creek, a sculpture garden and a wildflower walk. Unusual features include a rustic clock tower and a pirates’ tavern where you can sit and relax.
