The Heritage Garden Book
‘The Heritage Garden: Creating Walter & Kay Duncan’s Garden at Sevenhill, South Australia’ captures the story of an extraordinary garden and the passion behind its creation. From the careful relocation of a 140-year-old Adelaide bluestone home to the establishment of one of Australia’s most celebrated private rose gardens, this limited edition book documents both the horticultural expertise and personal journey that shaped this Clare Valley treasure.

The Four Seasons
While our roses create spectacular displays in spring and autumn, The Heritage Garden offers unique charm in every season. Summer brings the deep greens and delicate pastels of repeat-flowering roses, while winter reveals the striking architecture of bare branches against ancient stone walls. Our picture gallery captures these ever-changing moods—from frost-kissed mornings to golden summer evenings—inviting you to discover your own favourite season in our garden. Browse our gallery to experience the garden’s year-round beauty, or better yet, come see it for yourself.
