Default Name of restored garden?

Can anyone remind me of the name of the garden restored by the Australian
woman who lives here 6 months of year and 6 months in Oz? She leases the
house & garden and has spent a small fortune on it, IIRC. It was on one of
the tv progs year or so ago and I want its name to recommend to some
American friends. TIA.

Hi Sacha,

I'm sure I read an article about her recently, but can't lay my hands on it.
Sorry. If it's any help, I think the lady's name is Marilyn Abbott (sp?).
Not sure how you can google usefully with that, but hope it's some help.

Very many thanks - all info has been passed on to the visiting Americans.
We haven't been to that garden and are really longing to go.
