| Last updated on - June 17, 2002 What is significant? Blanche Marshall (nee Scharp) became the owner of 40 Carlsberg Road in 1936 and arranged for her friend and former employer Edna Walling to prepare a garden design around her new home. Trained as a pharmacist, she had met Walling in 1926 and later became her book keeper. She once lived with Walling at Sonning and in 1928 owned land at Bickleigh Vale, which she later sold back to Walling. After Blanche's marriage in 1929 her family often visited Bickleigh Vale at Mooralbark, and 'Aunty Edna' became godmother to her daughter Jane. The garden Walling designed for the Marshalls was a fitting style for the simple unostentatious house. In many ways it is similar to the garden designs at Bickleigh Vale, which Walling commenced in the 1920s and where Blanche Marshall once resided and was a regular visitor. There were fewstructures, only a set of steps, stone retaining wall and garden bed edges, smallconcrete pond, gravel driveway, stepping stones and flagstone paving. Eric Hammond was engaged as the landscape contractor for the stone work and planting, and Ellis Stones constructed a rock outcrop. All the garden beds curve and grassy glades disappear around corners. The placement of beds, shrubs, trees and lawn spaces creates a garden with a sense of mystery. Forget-me-nots, bulbs and hellebores are allowed to define the pleasantly vague edges between garden and lawn. Halfway down the garden amongst the flowering shrubs is a single room studio. Although it was not shown on the 1936 plan it was designed by Walling and built by Stones. The rich brown vertical timber boards of the cabin with its tiny wooden porch, white windows and brick chimney creates a charming picture. The building is in a similar style to The Barn which Walling built at Bickleigh Vale. Blanche Marshall determinedly preserved the informal spirit of the garden and was obviously a great student of Walling. Marshall's daughter reported in 1986 that the garden had remained largely unaltered since its construction. Nearly all the plants in the garden are those favoured by Walling and their friendship over a long period saw Walling continue to provide advice for almost 40 years. How is it significant? The Marshall Garden is of historical, aesthetic and scientific (horticultural) significance to the State of Victoria Why is it significant? The Marshall Garden is historically significant as one of the earliest and an outstanding example of the informal cottage style of the notable garden designer Edna Walling.This informal design approach was adopted in the 1920s by Walling for her own homes at Sonning, The Barn and other properties in the Bickleigh Vale complex. Walling is considered to one of Australia?s most important and influential landscape designers of the twentieth century and was the most pr |
