Another important aspect of the Home Hill property is the garden which Dame Enid devoted many hours of her time to. She developed the almost bare land of nearly a century ago in to an amazing lush and diverse garden. Aspects of the gardens have remained as they were when she was tending the grounds at the end of her life. The garden presents a new face with each season, thanks to the ongoing care of volunteers and the Devonport City Council grounds crew.
