Anna O Leary s garden at Fairfield Farm in the Whangaehu Valley has twice extended out into paddocks and is her happy place .
Her sisters-in-law entered it in the Whanganui s Most Beautiful Garden Competition because they thought more people should see its 700 roses, sweeping lawn and many smaller rooms .
It started when O Leary and her husband Shaun moved to the house 23 years ago. It s lush dairy farming country, with heavy clay soil and a gentle slope. The addition of topsoil and sand made it diggable . Thousands of plants and stony paths were added.
