Description
The Melbourne International Flower & Garden Show has wrapped for another year! Each year, we like to interview some of the garden designers to get an insight into what ideas, philosophies, trends, and plants are floating in the cultural zeitgeist. Friend of the show, Dr Ian Smith interviews some of the Boutique, Achievable and Border garden designers. He also shares his impressions of some of the Landscape Design Show gardens. Whether you're into landscape design, construction, maintenance, or growing, you'll get to hear from some of the most exciting up-and-coming designers in the country (even if they're about to fly back home after the Show). From plant palettes to materials, to colours, to sustainability, this episode will give you an insight into what's going on in the garden game in 2024.
