Tutti Frutti is a larger than average urban section (1240m2) which the current owner has partially redesigned and replanted in the last five years to create a cottage style with a difference. A variety of strikingly colourful areas ranging from shrubberies to a perennial border mixed with roses, alongside vibrant sub-tropicals give all year round colour and interest. With over 30 well-established fruiting trees and a vegetable plot it is a highly productive garden deserving of the name ‘Tutti Frutti”. It’s a haven for birds and insect life. Biodiversity thrives here ❤

The Barnes garden has evolved over the last 39 years to encompass a large variety of texture and colour combinations. Tropicals, natives, shrubs and roses are interwoven to create a peaceful yet vibrant garden. The house was built in the early 1940s and an original apple tree still remains. A large dragon tree, frangipani, olive and puka add to the tropical atmosphere. ❤
