Garden & Art Trail

Matua Garden

This suburban garden has a distinct sub-tropical theme. The garden features many varieties of palms, cycads, bold foliage plants and an extensive collection of rare and unusual bromeliads. There are several different sections within the garden: a swimming pool and outdoor area, raised vegetable beds, succulents, fruit trees, topiary plants and an area with a traditional seasonal flower garden.
