As both designers and owners of Lynwood Garden, Chris & Charlotte Webb have created the garden as a place to experiment with rare and unusual plants, observing how they grow and perform as garden plants. But most of all our Lynwood Garden allows us to fulfill our desire to try to collect everything!!

The garden commenced in 2006 with the surrounding dairy cattle paddocks gradually developed into garden. Like any garden, Lynwood continues to develop in an ever consuming way.

The climate for the district is cool temperate, with rainfall evenly distributed across the year. Our frosts are quite severe so plants need to be hardy to survive. Of course we also have our share of wildlife to contend with in the garden including wombats, possums, kangaroo, deer and quoll. Our bird life is extensive, particularly as our garden borders Meryla Flora Reserve and Morton National Park with an area of almost 2,000 square kilometres. So it can be tricky keeping flowers on growing plants in the nursery.

The garden features many collections of perennials, trees & shrubs such as Oaks, Linden, Sorbus, birch, dogwoods, viburnum, boxwood, albuca, bulbinella, veronicastrum, phlomis, species penstemon – and so the list goes on. In recent years smaller growing Alpine plants are adding interest with the introduction of trough gardens.
