Killara Garden

The Project

Killara Garden.

A garden of deep borders and long views on Sydney’s upper north shore. Sandstone and travertine steps carry the fall of the block, and every path ends at something — an urn, a bronze figure, a feature wall set into the planting.

White and silver perennials run the length of the borders beneath mature jacarandas and camellias. Roses, clematis and salvia give it a long season.
