Garden & Art Trail

Chole Graham’s Garden

This small urban garden is an evolving tropical escape, created from a passion for rare and unusual plants. Designed to feel immersive despite its compact size, the garden uses layered planting, bold foliage, and creative use of every corner to create a lush, abundant atmosphere. The collection brings together plants selected for their distinctive forms, textures, colours, and growth habits, with an emphasis on the uncommon and unexpected. Rather than a formal display, the garden reflects a love of experimentation, curiosity, and the possibilities of transforming a small urban space. A wonderful example of how even the most compact section can become densely planted, richly textured, and full of discovery.
