We moved into Uccello Lane in 2012 – it was a mudbrick house on a lane that led to the Yarra River – with a garden that was very natural and overgrown but all the hard landscaping and rock work had been done.
The first thing we noticed were the birds – they were every where so that is why we decided to name this wonderful landscape Uccello Lane – Italian for Bird.
We spent the next 3 months clearing the garden and from that time we started making plans.
Below are all the gardens where there is a BEFORE and an AFTER – so you can share the journey!
