For gardens

Belleview Garden
Vivienne Papich has planted her unique garden with colour, whimsy and originality. Every turning in this delightfully excentric stroll-garden heralds another carefully designed tableau. The fascinating way in which she uses paint, coloured fabric, everyday artifacts and various containers to offset and complement the planting is the intriguing creation of a talented artist and plantswoman.
Set on a hillside above Langs Beach on various levels the garden faces spectacular views of the distant Hen and Chicken Islands in the Pacific Ocean. Native trees line the driveway over naturalised ferns, cymbidium orchids and bromeliads.
