Winter 2023
In this edition we check out some of the extraordinary award-winning gardens from this year’s Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show! We interview Charlie Albone about his ‘Entertainer’s Delight’ garden and showcase it in images.
Then we introduce you to international garden designer, Peter Donegan, and walk you through his ‘Bam Stone Garden’. This garden is an interpretative love story and certainly a labour of love to create it.
We also walk you through the signing of the MOU (Memorandum of Understanding) with the Landscape Industry of Singapore (LIAS) and what it means to the horticultural industry in Australia.
And check out the view from the world’s highest edible garden that just happens to have a fellow Aussie, Brent Purtell, as its head gardener.
We hope you enjoy the stories and stunning photographs in this edition.
