Natives, autumn colours, a creek and a duck called Quack Quack.
Carolin Rewiti has cultivated her Putiki garden over the past decade, turning the half acre sheep paddock into her own personal sanctuary.
"There was nothing there, it was a sheep paddock," she said. "I just sort of did it bit by bit. A kaumatua used to come and give me a hand."
Slowly the fence got pushed further back as the sheep and long grass made way for Mrs Rewiti's expanding garden.
Paths of well-kept lawn lead through a range of trees and plants including roses, camellias and fruit trees, to a creek bordering the rear of the section.
