The Magic of Gardening: Barewood by Studio Home
“Gardening is painting a picture that is never finished...
A visit to Barewood is fantastical.
To pull up in the driveway, step through the gate and see an old homestead, appearing to nest on a bed of flowers, dripping in translucent white wisteria feels entirely secret and totally unreal!
The drive up the Awatere Valley from Seddon with its bare hills, flats full of grape vines and the looming rocky skyline of Tapuae-o-Uenuku gives no hint at the eden you will arrive at.
Barewood, like many large New Zealand gardens of its kind, is the home base of a wider farming property. Struggles with water supply, dense clay soil, shelter and the given isolation were tackled with enthusiasm and kiwi ingenuity by Joe and Carolyn Feraby. They talk about the expansion of the garden, multiple moves of the washing line and the claiming of the calf paddock with jibes and chuckles, entirely reflecting their warm personalities and positive attitudes. They present casual, humble faces to what is anything but a casual achievement.

This episode of The Magic of Gardening was made proudly in partnership with Garden Marlborough - New Zealand's premier garden festival presenting tours to the regions best private gardens.
Barewood can be visited as part of the East Coast tour during their annual event each November.

Sheep at Barewood Garden Farm
A sheep-herding demonstration followed by wool-shearing at Joe and Carolyn Ferraby's beautiful Barewood Garden Farm in the Awatere Valley of New Zealand's Marlborough region. We visited this farm on our 2018 American Horticultural Society tour of gardens and natural areas of NZ's north and south islands.
