Statement of Significance

The garden surrounding Heide I at 7 Templestowe Road, Bulleen is of State significance for its aesthetic and cultural value, being the home of art patrons John and Sunday Reed. The garden is closely linked with many of the artists who spent time at Heide, most especially Neil Douglas who contributed to the layout of the site. The garden is mentioned in letters of the period.

The significant elements of the garden are overall site layout, the kitchen garden wall, site planting style and species, stone work around the "heart garden" and the large trees (especially Pinus pinaster, all Quercus canariensis and Maclura pomifera). The "heart" and "wild" gardens are of additional significance due to their historical connections, as well as the kitchen garden and cat run.
