Blue House Amberley

Open November - April, $15 we provide a map and Jenny loves to talk with visitors. Blue House Amberley is an open garden in North Canterbury. It is gardened by Jenny Cooper, with able help from partner Chris Raateland. We are in the Hurunui Garden Festival, check out www.hurunuigardenfestival.com
This is a garden where strong design and a plants woman’s passion go hand in hand. It is a garden tha

t invites you to wander, explore and relax, with plenty of places to sit, and new delights around every corner. Our wide grass paths take you from intimate and cool shade gardens, to sweeps of tussocks and prairie flowers, and through Mediterranean inspired gravel gardens, featuring stunning succulents and aloes. From generous sunny borders filled with unusual and difficult to source perennials, to an iris filled damp garden. We have a gorgeous no-mow meadow, vineyard and charming and productive vegetable garden. Tiny paths meander through arched hedges and down to the creek
We also provide a map and information about our garden philosophy, honed in the difficult North Canterbury climate. This includes no-dig, bare rooting, limited feeding and encouragement of mycorrhizal fungi. Instagram: bluehouse_amberley
