Guests should bring their own picnic chair or rug to allow them to relax in the garden during the afternoon.
The designer of the new garden at Canowindra’s Noojee Lea, Paul Bangay has been designing beautiful gardens in Australia and overseas for the last 25 years.
He is one of Australia’s leading landscape designers and lives at Stonefields near Daylesford in Victoria.
He has written eight books on garden designs and the Canowindra Garden Club has two signed copies of his latest book for a raffle on the day of the club’s Spring Garden event at Noojee Lea on November 18.
Janelle McCullock has said that “his designs are noted for precise angles, perfect symmetry, strong sight lines and rich detail.. Paul designs are inspired by travel.
“At the moment the Middle East with its dry hot climate and exciting use of water is his favourite.
“The new walled garden at Noojee Lea follows those principles exactly.
“His use of water, gravel paths, spectacular berry cages, large pots filled with cumquats and box and symmetrical garden beds are a delight. An amazing feature of the garden is the entrance through a beautiful stone wall and arch built by a local stone mason from rocks found on the property. Paul has also used his magic to create a courtyard garden.”
