Creating a garden ruin

 

A ruined barn foundation is something that Bill has always coveted, a sheltered area where microclimates can be put to good use. In 2013, Bill decided to create his own ruin on the southern edge of our gardens and put his recycling skills to work.

​He added two metal birds found at the Sally Anne and repurposed a metal gate made by our neighbour, Shelby Hall.

Members of the Island View and Area Ratepayers Association celebrated their 25th anniversary at Keppel Croft. The lawn by the ruin was the venue for the celebratory afternoon tea -for over 40 guests!

This area of the garden has been used for wedding services, an elopement dinner,

Birthday celebrations and lots of wedding party photographs.
