Family businesses are few and far between in this day and age, so when we come across a good one – we shout it from the rooftops!
Abode Living was founded in 1991 by Robert Adair (whose family opened the famous haberdashery store by the same name on Chapel Street in the early 1900s!). Robert opened the first Abode store in Camberwell in 2000, which now contains the company’s production facilities and offices all in one building. Nearly everything is designed and developed here in Melbourne!
Robert’s son Ben and daughter-in-law Amelia joined the bedding and textile business in 2005 and have been there ever since, as have many of their staff. With local manufacturing and small business close to their hearts, this is a true legacy story!
If there is one category that never fails to appease our audience, it is gardens. No matter your taste, it seems that a thoughtfully designed garden is a perennial crowd-pleaser!
From a magical hidden flower garden in Ivanhoe, to an amazingly abundant lawn-free garden in Melbourne’s inner suburbs – to a pair of lifetime gardeners tending to their plot in Woodend, these are the best gardens we featured this year.
