Bob & Helen Harrison's 3acre property has evolved over 5 years from bare paddock to lawns, shrubs and trees including a 20 tree walnut grove.

This well planned property is designed for easy mowing, self-maintaining trees and a big vege garden taking advantage of the region's good soils. The subtle and effective use of garden plants complement the house which won the NZ Institute of Architects Resene Local Award for Architecture in 2007.
