Gardens for Wildlife – Habitat Open Garden in Table Top

Table Top, address to be advised to ticket holders Table Top, New South Wales, Australia

Join G4W at Table Top to see a superb example of a habitat garden hosted by Sue and Brian who have generously offered to showcase their garden. When they moved into their place around 7 years ago, the gardens were planted out with rows of grevilleas and camellias, with a sprinkle of crepe myrtles. Now the garden is an animal haven, with stunning textures and variety, providing habitat for a wide range of wildlife. 

In the garden birds flitter between the purposely complex flora layers and enjoy a drink from numerous bird baths and ponds. They have settled in and created an incredible amount of nests to spot. Reptiles scutter along the undergrowth and amphibians have a home in the ponds.

Sue and Brian are also lucky enough to see gliders and possums around their property. While at the open garden you’ll also have the opportunity to see planting they’re doing outside their garden to increase connectivity to an adjoining reserve.
