The current entrance to the Margaret Stevens Garden is still approximately in its original position to the left of the Resort driveway entrance on Fitzroy St. Since Waldorf have been here we have repainted and renovated the pergolas and attempted to tame the Wisteria floribunda. This week we uncovered the old sign in the mower shed, glued it and Lexie has repainted it from the old Brunswick green to the current pergola colour (urban grey). We have hung it from the front pergola. There are now 4 pergolas where there was previously one and the first pergola is closer to the drive than the original.

The conifers are Abies nordmanianna, Picea abies and looming at the back is Sequoia sempervirens. They are all still there as is the yellow flowering rhododendron. The roofing on the right is around the original reception area, now removed.
