A gardener kneels to tend plants at the left, and a dog sits keeping him company. At the right is an herbaceous border, in front of the partly obscured Wellington Terrace. Across the Terrace is a wooden house with finials, brick chimney, shingled roof, and a "To Let" sign in the window. Beyond this in the right background is Wellington Harbour and the flat area of Lower Hutt. In the centre background behind the circular garden, is the shingle roof, finial, brick chimney, and H-shaped metal chimney-pot of a neighbouring house, possibly that owned in 1878/79 (see Wise's Post Office Directory) by Joseph Nancarrow.
