Alda Acres is a warm, evolving two-acre garden shaped over fifteen years by Shelley and Robin, who transformed a pine-dominated block into a diverse, character-filled landscape. With flourishing gums and raised native beds improving drainage, the garden blends ornamental and productive areas. Visitors will find natives, exotics and edibles, from rotating veggie beds and berries to stone fruits and figs, centred around a herb garden made from reclaimed drums. Succulent displays, experimental truffle trees, a chook run, Cherry Ballarts and meandering paths add charm, while sculptures and upcycled relics reflect the owners’ creativity.
