Step inside a centuries-old Canterbury garden in full autumn bloom
When Lou Davison says her garden has been a family work in progress since the 80s, she means the 1880s.
Davison inherited over four hectares of native tree-laden land from her mother-in-law, Brownie, when she joined her Canterbury farming family.
The Davisons and two of their neighbouring friends will be opening their impressive gardens to visitors over Anzac weekend for the inaugural Autumn with Art in the Gardens.
Lou will be hosting Amberley artist Nell McKellow at Wynyard, as well as a gin-making workshop led by her brother, the founder of Lighthouse gin, and a catered lunch among the trees.
Within a 3-kilometre radius, attendees can also explore the Willows garden, home to screen print artist Jane McIntosh, and Hemingford garden, a 955ha sheep and cattle farm designed by the romantic Cecil Wood in 1952, owned by artist Lissa Holland.
