A grand outburst of cultures sprawl around middle Sydney.
When they come to this place it’s usually with a case of the blues. Should they pass through this doorway they can see deep into old China.
The Westmead garden is a traditional Chinese garden comprised of four meter high waterfalls, streams, ponds, two ‘mountains’, a pavilion and large gate, extensive paths, granite stairs and lush planting.
Serpentine rocks up to four tonnes in size were hand selected to create dynamic mountain ranges and exotic rock arrangements.
Planting includes Bamboo, Pines, Crepe Myrtle, Maples, Azaleas, Camellias, Chinese Elms, Buddhist Pines, Cycads, Plum trees, and numerous flowering shrubs and groundcovers.
Let’s begin the walkthrough.

Special thanks to Ms. Gilly Paxton, Public Relations Manager and the New Children’s hospital for granting Mr Bamboo to showcase the Chinese Garden.
Completed in 1996, this award-winning garden was designed by Ken Lamb, Managing Director of Imperial Gardens Landscape,  Henry Tsang of Tsang and Lee Architects, and Ron Powell Landscape Architect.
Built with generous donations from Cathay Pacific, the Doctors Association and the drive of Dr John Lu, the gardens were conceived as a gift to the Children’s Hospital.
Constructed by Imperial Gardens Landscape and Co-ordinated Landscapes, this exotic garden could not have been achieved without the support of NSW Department of Public Works and Concrete Constructions, who donated significant services to the project.
