ROOM TO GROW

WITH BOUNDLESS ENERGY AND A VISION FOR THEIR OWN SECRET GARDEN, THIS GOLD COAST FAMILY CULTIVATED THEIR DREAM HOME FROM THE GROUND UP

- SHELLEY TUSTIN

Throughout the growing season, Lana and Justin's sprawling garden in the Gold Coast hinterland is a kaleidoscope of pastel-pretty colour: roses in shades from pale pink to apricot, fragrant lavender and wisteria, vigorous paper daisies and scores of elegant gardenias. The effect is blissful, and the feeling of joy - as well as the exuberant use of natural colour - is echoed within the serene home the couple share with their four daughters.
