Pre-Conference Gardens Tour

An exciting prelude to this year's conference is again planned with a full day Friday tour of four stunning designer gardens nestled in the Macedon ranges around Kyneton, Central Victoria. Book early as this tour normally sells out. Please note that this tour is available for delegates only.

Paul Bangay's own newly created rural garden - a rare opportunity to visit the private country residence of Paul Bangay. With magnificent valley views, this exceptional garden of rooms features a reflection pool, terraced rill, perennial borders and working vegetable parterre.

Glenlyon Church Garden - a fine conversion of an old bluestone church, the Mel Ogden designed garden relies on pattern, rhythm and movement to create a modern landscape punctuated by immense boulders and towering vertical shards of quartzite set amongst ancient cedars.

Tivey Garden, Kyneton - by Sinatra Murphy Pty Ltd, this garden celebrates innovative design, quirky plant combinations, clever integration of lap pool and farm dam, mass planted succulents and unique hard landscaping.

Highfields, Romsey - by Rick Eckersley for his parents, an elegant, traditional romantic country garden. New cutting edge outdoor entertaining areas and a superb Mediterranean dry garden add exciting contemporary touches.
