The Terrace Garden, Blyth
In 2022 the garden holds around 1300 plants of approximately 700 species. While Eremophila's are the dominant species, many other Australian Genera are represented, including Eucalypts, Grevillea, Banksia, Myoporum, Thryptomene, Hakea, Alyogne, Correa, Melaleuca, Chamalaucium. Visitors are encoraged to take cuttings where plants are sufficiently mature, or visit Medika Gallery in Blyth to possibly purchase species of interest (Ian Roberts has grown & supplied all plants in the garden). Around 230 species have nameplates.
While the best time to visit for maximum flowering is Aug-Nov, some plants can be found in flower throughout the year.
This garden is something of a trial for waterwise plants as no reticulated water is available on site, and to see which plants hold a good longer-term shape for garden propagation.
The Garden is maintained by the local group "Friends of the Terrace", who meet most Mondays to weed, subject to weather.
