A former chapter
Whitford Bird Garden
The garden brought together Blake’s interests in exotic birds, plants, conservation and art, and became an important part of his artistic life.

A living source of observation
Birds, plants and painting
Whitford Bird Garden formed an important chapter in Blake’s life. Its birds and planted setting sat closely alongside his artistic practice and his interest in conservation.
After Blake moved to Nelson, Wayne Huang purchased the garden in 2013, carrying its care and story into a new chapter.
