The Garden State Inside Victoria's Private Gardens

The Garden State Inside Victoria's Private Gardens by Richard Allen, published by Thames & Hudson Australia Pty, Limited in 2020.

Victoria's rich soil, mostly cool climate (apart from mid-summer heatwaves) and - in many places - nourishing volcanic soil mean that with passion, patience, imagination and commitment, amazing gardens can be built and maintained. The Garden State includes stately old wonders like the magnificent Macarthur Street Garden at the foot of the Grampians in Dunkeld and the rambling gardens of Mount Macedon, with 120-year-old trees, grand houses and moss-covered paths. But there are also plenty of newer, innovative and exciting gardens that have been built up over the last 20 years.

A lovely addition to your coffee table or bookshelf, and a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves gardening.
