Alpaca delights tea garden @ gallery naturalist
Work on the gardens started two years ago and continues to expand and evolve. What started out as an Alpaca paddock has now been transformed into a beautiful tea garden (Traditional Turkish – ‘Cay Bahcesi’), with plenty of natural shade from our majestic Eucalyptus Trees. The alpacas were relocated to new paddocks and work started on the layout of the new gardens. Plenty of native trees and bushes have been planted for the local birds, bees, and butterflies to enjoy. The bonus was the beautiful flowers and perfume of these big trees when they flower in the Summer and Autumn time.
At the back we built a small paddock where a few resident dwarf Alpacas will come to welcome visitors through their natural curiosity. We recently added a rose collection, which included English and French heritage samples. When you add this to our already rich perfumed Frangipani's and flowering herbs you have the perfect environment to draw in the bees and butterflies, who are so vital to the ecosystem. We are proud to provide a wonderful sanctuary to our local birds and we hope to provide you with the same wondrous sanctuary, so that you can rest, relax, and recharge whilst viewing what nature has to offer!
Now I imagine after reading all that you must be quite thirsty? hungry? Well isn't just your lucky day! We are proud to announce that Alpaca Delights will be up and running in conjunction with Gallery Naturalist. Now you can enjoy the art, the scenery and the tea gardens with added bonus of trying our beautifully authentic Turkish pâtisserie.
