The entry to Jane Irwin Landscape Architecture’s (JILA) Forest Edge Garden begins as a northbound journey out of Sydney, driving into the sun between the emphatic cut-sandstone scarps of the Pacific Highway, then inland through the expansive landscapes of the Lower Hunter and their imprints of forestry, coalmining, grazing and cropping.
First contact with the garden is made on a distant, axial approach towards the Watagan Mountains escarpment. Then a curling and intimate ascent begins beside steep sandstone outcrops that draw your vision up towards the ridge upon which the garden is founded.
