King Garden - ‘Back Lake’ - 264 Wiggins Rd, Scotsburn.
Designed to reflect its time and place, ‘Back Lake’ was conceived as a complete ‘landscape’ rather than a ‘garden’. Designed and largely constructed by architect owners Anne and Berry King the layout was developed at the house design stage, and detailed landscaping and plant selection decided before any work commenced. The dry-stone walls, ponds, raised vegetable beds, orchard and general planting & mulching were mostly completed in 2010. .
Strong winds limit plant selection. Planting includes 4 Prunus ‘Shirotae’ (white flowering cherry) creating an outdoor ‘room’, Pistacia chinensis (Chinese Pistachio), Angophora Costata (Smooth barked apple), together with swathes of euphorbias, echiums, acacias, agapanthus, correas, miscanthus and pennisetum grasses combining for immense effect. Sculpture collection. Bird life is prolific on and around the water and views are magical. Paradise found !
