Russell

Margaret joined Bella Vista Gardens well before the doors
were opened, spending four months getting things ready
for opening in November 2016. Margaret hails from the
lower Blue Mountains and lives in that beautiful part of
the world with her husband, Peter and youngest
daughter, Alison. Margaret’s eldest daughter, Caroline,
married Oren in September 2017. The family also has a
lovely beagle, Jasper, who occasionally makes visits to
BVG and also a very cranky Burmese cat, Baggins, who
definitely rules the roost!
