Vivian McMillan and Keith Boutcher




 Walk down the winding road across open scrub and arrive at a large Victorian style house. Inside, an Olde Worlde warm and welcoming space, adorned with collections of pottery and objects from around the world, looks out over a porch to a beautiful view of Hornby Island and the mountains beyond. Deer are free to share the majority of the garden space, which Vivian has created with a palette of deer resistant, drought-tolerant plants, where mounds of lavender abound. Extensive gravel gardens keep down weeding and include a stunning bed of grasses as well as a wide selection of euphorbias, alliums and hellebores. A large fenced area protects vegetables and tender flowers from the deer, and is resplendent with a frog pond and grand arbor.
