GET TO KNOW LONGBUSH COTTAGE


LUKE GARDNER, CHIEF GARDENER

I take great delight in my garden! It boasts a contemporary spin on the classic
cottage style, inspired by 20th-century arts and crafts gardens.

My preference is to blend indigenous plants with foreign ones to imbue it with a
distinct New Zealand flavour. While the structure is mainly formal,
characterized by straight lines and vistas, the planting has a more relaxed
feel, occasionally appearing a tad wild.

My aim is not to achieve horticultural perfection but rather to create a
cheerful and vibrant atmosphere with a variety of plant themes. And, at its
core, is a charming little 1890s cottage that I have restored from its
dilapidated state.
