Whakaraupō - Lyttelton Garden

A lushly planted small garden oasis with views out to Whakaraupō - Lyttelton Harbour.

A small but lush courtyard garden sits on the slopes above Whakaraupō - Lyttelton Harbour, serving as a peaceful sanctuary for the residents of the contemporary new home. Decks, including a pergola with climbing clematis, extend the living space into the garden, while a circular ‘no-mow’ lawn is nestled within the planting providing a more naturalistic outdoor area.

A water feature attracts birds and adds a soothing sensory element, and other personal touches include sculptures, rocks, and a raised planter with a ‘herb and salad’ garden outside the kitchen window. The planting combines lush, evergreen foliage with bursts of seasonal flowers, creating a low maintenance garden and year-round enjoyment.
