The Mac Ewan Terrace Garden provides the gateway to a spectacular random collection of urban landscapes including a significant reach of the Credit River, and vestiges of 19th and early 20th farm and rural estate settings. The .5 ha Garden contains 14 beds of over 5000 plants with between 100 and 125 species and varieties displayed in dramatic compositions. The concept for each bed is inspired by the history of the site, the arts and craft style of border design, flamboyant colour composition and an infusion of new plant varieties to extend garden interest from May until November. The overall garden provides inspiration to a variety of users including garden enthusiasts, artists, nature enthusiasts and photographers. The enabling garden provides special-needs children with opportunities to work with soil, plants and to demonstrate the many benefits of gardening as a life-long passion.
