The Richardson Garden, McLaren Vale South Australia

With a view to both the sea and the Willunga Scarp this garden is a spectacular success. Featuring hardy Mediterranean plants with minimal water requirements the garden is thriving & immaculately cared for. There is a nursery attached and the garden is often used for weddings.

The south-east of Australia is experiencing drought - these gardens are watered by recycled water
from a nearby sewerage works, as are many of the vines in the Southern Vales area.
