Fame no bed of roses

ONE of Narre Warren’s best-known residential gardens is getting ready for a redesign.
Max and Frances Miller’s Heyington Circle garden is a local landmark and was easy to recognise by its colourful fence.
Mr Miller is now pulling down the fence and is looking forward to his garden coming to life again in the New Year.
He said recurring health problems and vandalism had prompted him to think of a new design for the garden.
“It was a bit hard before,” he said.
The new garden will have something for everyone and will be a “bit more vandal-proof”, Mr Miller said.
“We’ll have something for the boys and something for the girls,” he said.
Mr Miller is planning a painted mural and a fairy house for the new garden, as well as a Cinderella carriage and walk-in Shrek house, including Shrek and Donkey.
The garden will be open for parents to photograph their children.
“I’ll put up signs so parents know they can take pictures of their kiddies,” Mr Miller said.
The garden will also feature a rose arbour and a water feature.
The transformation of thenew garden will dependon finances and the completion of repairs to the front and sidefences.
