Creating a Cool Oasis at Mudgee Nursery: Your Guide to Summer Garden Retreats

A thoughtfully designed oasis can transform any outdoor space into a cooling haven, and with temperatures rising there’s no better time to create a luscious green retreat in your garden.

With expert advice and extensive local knowledge, Mudgee Nursery provides the resources and inspiration needed to create a refreshing garden retreat right outside your door. Visitors are encouraged to explore the nursery’s extensive selection of shade plants, trees, vines, and flowers to design a sanctuary that offers a natural respite from the summer sun.   

Flowing water can really transform a garden into a peaceful retreat, with birdbaths and ponds adding tranquillity and attracting wildlife - the nursery’s own pond and creek demonstrates first hand how water features can cool and beautify any garden space.

Greenlife staff are on hand to help you design cooling microclimates with carefully chosen deciduous trees and shrubs that provide shade and reduce the impact of the hot season.

For those interested in growing food, the nursery highlights the benefits of water-saving techniques like wicking beds, which are especially useful during hot, dry months. There are experts on hand to offer advice on seasonal planting for summer kitchen gardens and orchards. 

From herbs to fresh vegetables, there’s plenty that can be grown, even in smaller spaces. Café 2850, the nursery’s onsite eatery, even uses herbs and edible flowers from its own wicking garden beds, showcasing how practical and productive these systems can be.

Scott and the team invite you to enjoy an iced latte as you explore the grounds, soak up the gardening inspiration, and plan your ideal summer sanctuary.
