The Malvern Gardens, one in Clifton Street and the other in Wattle Street, are back-to-back properties owned by two generations of a garden-loving family.
48 Clifton Street – The classic sandstone villa, circa 1910, is owned by landscape designers Cathy and Nick Apps. Over the last 22 years, they have created a stylish garden in perfect harmony with the elegant house and the leafy streetscape.
193 Wattle Street – Behind the sandstone walls that separate the two properties are the beautifully restored 115-year-old Wattle Street house and its garden; the architecture and the garden are a skilful mix of modern and traditional styles.
General entry to this garden is $10, and $8 for Open Gardens SA Members and for those with a Commonwealth Government Pensioner Concession Card or Health Care Card. Under 18 receive free entry. Visitors are encouraged to bring cash as EFTPOS facilities are not always available.
