Gardening in Mount Victoria
Mount Victoria's heritage cottages and older homes often come with established gardens: old roses, hedges, fruit trees and deciduous trees. Winter pruning and careful hedge care keep these gardens healthy without losing their character.
The village's exposed position means strong winds and heavy frost. We focus on tough plant choices, deep mulching and shelter hedges, along with gutter cleaning and fuel clearing before summer.
