For over 40 years, former florist Peter Brady tended his designer garden in Auckland's Mt Eden.
Originally Japanese inspired... the various shades of green were complemented by the pink and yellow of Peter's Spanish Mission-style house - just like a colorful bunch of flowers.
Over the years, the garden was host to thousands of visitors.
He opened it to the public to raise money for people with AIDS and to support hospice.
Peter died in 2023 aged 90 and now his home has been sold, but thankfully, his garden will live on.
