A sanctuary garden set into a steep, heavily treed site, using careful grading and planting to frame privacy, outlook and arrival.
Set into a steep, heavily treed ridge, the Ninderry sanctuary is planned as a series of garden rooms tied to a central arrival court and a restored dam.
Native food trees, a wildflower meadow and structured screen planting build privacy and habitat, while careful grading opens quiet outlooks back toward the bushland edge without disturbing the existing canopy.
