Figs can live for hundreds of years so planting a fig arboretum needed some careful planning. Plenty of room was required to showcase the many Australian species, some of which grow to be enormous. Over time our arboretum will grow into a shady, protected place to wander or reflect.

Place a plaque on the Knot which has been handcrafted by a dry stone wall master craftsman. To place a plaque on the knot contact the Development Team on (02) 9231 8111.
