MARSHALL GARDEN (7) - Physical Description 1
A reasonably intact example of the work of the garden designer Edna Walling.REMNANT FABRIC (Man Made):
The site features rock edging and random stone paving, which were typical elements of Walling's work. Some parts, such as the gravel driveway, are different from the original plan, which features stone vehicle lines. At the rear (north) of the property is a small cottage, designed by Walling, and constructed by Ellis Stones, who later became prominent in his own right. The cottage is reminiscent of the landscape at Bickleigh Vale at Mooroolbark, where Blanche Marshall, for whom the garden was built, lived briefly in the 1920s. The cottage is constructed of brown painted timber, with a corrugated iron roof.
REMNANT FABRIC (Vegetation):
The front of the garden is enclosed by a low Monterey Cypress (Cupressus macrocarpa) hedge, which is part of the original plan. Though the garden is overgrown in parts, and cleared in others, it contains a number of notable trees including Silver Birch (Betula pendula), Lillypilly (Acmena smithii), a Chinese Elm (Ulmus parvifolia), as well as smaller, mature trees and shrubs, such as various Flowering Cherries (Prunus CV) and Indian Hawthorn (Raphiolepsis sp.). A large Common Oak (Quercus robur) at the bottom of the garden appears to predate the Walling design.
POTENTIAL THREATS:
. Further neglect of the garden.
. Removal of the cottage.
. Redevelopment of the garden area.
MANAGEMENT STEPS:
Inform the owners as to the importance of the garden, and seek their co-operation in the maintenance and reconstruction of the garden to its intended setting.MARSHALL GARDEN (7) - Intactness
