Footbridge over drainage line 

Stormwater from the roof is directed through the garden along a shallow drainage line and many moisture loving plants grow here.  This small footbridge is made from recycled timbers.

These photos show the Burnley Indigenous Garden at its peak when I worked on it from 1997 to 2000. It had a great framework of trees and shrubs when I started, so I re-developed the ground layer. Within my three years I managed to introduce over 100 species of ground flora to this “Bush” style garden.
