When Wendy Whitley lost her husband, Australian artist Brett Whitely in 1992,
she funnelled her love and grief into transforming a disused, derelict train yard space.
Wendy’s Secret Garden – which is at the foothill of her private home in Lavender Bay – has been nurtured by Whitley and two gardeners over the past 25 years. They’ve planted natives, exotics, plants and herbs and landscaped the space with winding paths supported by raw bush timber balustrades, benches to sit on and cobbled stairs, retaining walls and paths.
