Garden DesignFest 2016, By Botanic Revival
 |
Last
weekend, the Botanic Revival team visited some of the gardens featured in Garden DesignFest 2016 on
behalf of Kew For You. Stunning Melbourne and Mornington Peninsula gardens were
exhibited to the public that were created by some of Victoria’s top garden
designers.

One of my favourite gardens was Betsy-Sue Clarke’s garden in Kew. This modern garden combined art and vegetation to create an urban oasis.

The garden
featured a magnificent vertical garden spanning four metres high which looked
onto a courtyard containing a pizza oven and a striking Indian Bean Tree
sculpture.

A north
facing kitchen garden made use of the sunshine whilst the chicken coup blended
in with the rear garden foliage. Tropical plants surrounded the inviting
swimming pool making it the perfect place to relax on a summer’s day.
