The Secret Garden Series by Coco Chocolate in collaboration with Wendy Whiteley
Sydney Chocolatier, Coco Chocolate, partners with Wendy Whiteley to raise funds for Wendy’s Secret Garden, Lavender Bay
In a rare move from wife of renowned artist, the late Brett Whiteley, Wendy Whiteley has gifted the copyright for some of Brett’s most recognised artworks in a one-off collaboration with Sydney Chocolatier, Coco Chocolate, to raise funds for Wendy’s Secret Garden, Lavender bay with the launch of ‘The Secret Garden Series by Coco Chocolate’.
Wendy’s Secret Garden is a treasured landmark of Sydney, a special place to many – locals and visitors alike – to come and experience nature in all its beauty. It is also the place Wendy and Brett Whiteley called home when they moved to its neighbouring house in Lavender Bay in the 1970s, and where Brett painted many of his iconic Sydney Harbour pictures.
Following Brett’s death in 1992, Wendy threw herself into cleaning up the piles of overgrown rubbish on the large land filled valley of unused railway land at the foot of her house, this the space we now know as Wendy’s Garden.
The garden today is maintained by volunteers and spearheaded and funded by Wendy’s passion and commitment to keep it vibrant and flourishing for decades to come. With a desire to ensure the longevity of Wendy’s Secret Garden, the collaboration with Coco Chocolate campaign came about to raise funds for its ongoing maintenance.
From October 1, The Secret Garden Series by Coco Chocolate launches with a range of three delicious chocolate bars, designed to complement Brett Whiteley’s iconic Sydney paintings in support of the Wendy Whiteley Secret Garden Trust, with all profit raised from the sale of the chocolate bars being donated to the Trust.
The Secret Garden Series by Coco Chocolate comprises of three 70g, 100% Cocoa Butter artisan chocolate bars, hand tempered on marble and made here in Sydney:
- Milk Chocolate with Lavender – Brett Whiteley’s The balcony 2, 1975
- Dark Chocolate with Orange – Brett Whiteley’s Big orange (sunset,) 1974
- White Chocolate with Hazelnut and Sea Salt – Brett Whiteley’s Self portrait in the studio, 1976
On collaborating with Wendy, Rebecca Knights of Coco Chocolate who lives locally and frequents the garden with her children, said; “To create this collaboration with all profits going to support Wendy’s garden is a privilege and a joy.”
In a message of thanks, Wendy reminds us: “nothing disappears faster than a garden, when it is not properly maintained. I’ve loved making the garden. It’s been a great gift to my life. It let me find myself again and it’s my gift to share with the public.”
