Today we tour the National Rhododendron Garden, Park’s Victoria’s 42-hectare public garden in the lush Dandenong Ranges east of Melbourne.
Established in 1960, this exceptional conservation project is home to 15,000 rhododendrons, but also thousands of other flowering shrubs and perennials.
We photographed the breathtaking garden earlier this month – you MUST see it in full Springtime bloom!
In 2015, we visited the incredible Northern Rivers home of jewellery designer and landscape architect Lisa Hochhauser and her husband, Robert Bleakley. The couple’s home sits on the crest of a 120 acre hinterland property, surrounded by protected natural heath. At the time, work to cultivate ten acres of unprotected land for a residential garden had only recently been completed.
Six years after our visit (and close to ten years since its initial completion), this garden has bloomed into full maturity. With a vision to return the land to the biodiverse wilderness it would have once been, Lisa and her team at LANDstudio set out to fill it with as much endemic vegetation as they could find. The lush sub-tropical garden now sits comfortably beside the modern family home, and acres of protected heathland stretching out towards Cape Byron on the horizon.
