Nothing can replace learning by experience and my own garden has been a source of immense learning since moving to Tarariki Pottery in 2013. Mike and I have done extensive work on the gardens and buildings since then and are committed to "living the design" as the land takes shape and evolves.
It is a compelling process as at any given stage the finished result can never be predicted. Each step along the way leads to greater and greater detail, layers of patina, of stories. Stories of those who have generously helped us along the way, of the unforeseen difficulties that change your tack, the unpredictable roadblocks that can turn into the best resolve.
We would relish the opportunity to share our experiences and place with you.
