“The Shambles”  is a name we gave the garden about 25 years ago.

 A little over 118 years ago the land around us in Montville changed from  rainforest of special significance to the indigenous Gubbi Gubbi people during their “Bonyi Bonyi” festivals, to a source of timber and then cleared for dairying and agriculture, namely strawberries,  pineapples, citrus fruit and other orchard crops.

Since the 1970s things started to change again and land cleared for agriculture and orchards started to grow trees and shrubs again for private residential  gardens

For thirty years we have built up an extensive plant collection around our century old farmhouse. We have a registered collection of “Heritage Roses” and perennial Salvias in a garden with thousands of plants in hundreds of genus from around the world.

Since 2001 many visitors have trod our garden paths and enjoyed “Open Garden” visits, Book Launches and Bus trips.

We hope you enjoy reading this site and following our gardens story.
