Wendy's Secret Garden, Public garden in Lavender Bay, Sydney, Australia.
Winding paths guide visitors through dense vegetation, featuring native plants, sculptures, and scenic spots overlooking Sydney Harbour and the Bridge.
The garden emerged in 1992 when Wendy Whiteley transformed an abandoned railway yard into a green space following the death of her husband Brett Whiteley.
The garden incorporates bronze sculptures, stone carvings, and artistic elements that reflect the creative legacy of Australian artist Brett Whiteley.
The garden welcomes visitors daily without entrance fees, with access from Milsons Point station or a short walk from Luna Park Sydney.
A team of dedicated volunteers maintains this former railway land six days per week, ensuring the preservation of numerous plant species and artistic installations.
