1 Paterson Street, South Toowoomba
Moya Mohr’s charming cottage garden surrounds this 100 year old former worker’s cottage.
Seven years ago Moya turned this from a blank canvas into an enchanting garden.
For the past three years the garden has been a prize winner in the competition section of the Carnival of Flowers.
The back garden features a fragrant rose garden, shaded seating, a potager growing fruit trees, veges, herbs and a craft studio with jams, chutneys, relishes, marmalades and seeds for sale.
A towering Kauri Pine hosts a “tree face” keeping an eye on all happenings in the garden.
Adding to the charm of this garden is a lush indoor plant display, clivias, succulent and colourful hanging baskets.
Self-sowing annuals appear throughout the garden as well as some of Moya’s pottery works.
Devonshire Tea is available from 9.30am to 11am daily.
This garden is supporting RSL Toowoomba Sub-Branch/ Headstone Healing Project
