Green sets the scene
Green-patterned fabrics planted the seed for a lush and lavish renovation at Treetops, a former lodge-style timber home in Mittagong that has had a Hamptons-style revamp. 

Melting moments
Acclaimed glass artist Scott Chaseling and his wife, arts writer and jewellery maker Gina Fairley, show us Small Impact Studio, where they turn old wine bottles into appealing homewares and jewellery.

Cool, calm and collected
Whether you call it a lake, a dam or a pond, the sight of water is key to the enjoyment of a garden or property. We ask two owners what they love about their water views.

Healing horses and heroes
Horse Aid, a program that connects veterans and first responders suffering PTSD with ex-racehorses unable to adjust to life off the track, has had success in helping both humans and horses.

Making music
Inspired by composers as varied as Debussy and Scott Joplin, Ann Carr-Boyd AM, patron of the Southern Highlands Symphony Orchestra, has composed more than 300 works over 60 years. 

Off to a flourishing start
Five years ago Lyndal and Anthony Pierce’s one acre property contained the remnants of an apple orchard and little else. After building their house, they started a garden that is already picture perfect.

Berry treasure
If you love berries, Kirstine McKay has plenty of tips for growing your own. She grows 18 types in her Greenlaw garden and reaps the benefits year round.

The accidental botanist
Janet Cosh’s late-in-life love of collecting Southern Highlands and Illawarra plant specimens resulted in the University of Wollongong’s Janet Cosh Herbarium. Today, the herbarium needs help.
