Beauchamp Park, Chatswood
Restoration of Spring Gardens
2010
In 2009, Willoughby City Council commissioned a report into the
restoration of the Spring Gardens at Beauchamp Park, Chatswood.
The report addressed a range of issues triggered by the Biodesign
Landscape Master Plan (2008). A detailed report including plant
identification, site analysis and planting strategy was prepared and
posted on Council's website for discussion and consultation. The strategy
was adopted and the restoration work is now complete.
Apart from the inclusion of a range of varieties of flowering plants,
importance was placed upon the consolidation of the existing collection
of Camellia varieties. Maintenance work, including feeding, pruning,
reduction in size to improve floristic display and management of pests
and diseases was undertaken. New planting of Camellias have included
a diverse selection of varieties and cultivars, from some of the older,
proven cultivars to some of the recent and unusual.
The attached species/cultivar list indicates a high percentage of the
collection now on site. Final identification of all varieties is an ongoing
project. The drawings identify where on the site these individual plants
may now be found.
One of the initiatives of the proposal was to extend the flowering season
of the Camellia collection. Peak times of the year to view these
extraordinary flowering plants is the middle of May through June. The
recent plantings will extend the season from early March through to the
middle of July.
