This garden in Mosman on Sydney’s North Shore feels lush all year round and yet has seasonal interest coming and going at all times.  It is a mix of cold climate, temperate and subtropical exotics, Australian natives, fruit and vegetables.  The canopy of trees keeps the garden shady and cool in summer and yet pockets of sun remain to ensure plenty of flowering plants thrive.
