'A Walk in the Garden' with Simon Rickard

Join host Stephen Read for a chat with supergardener, Simon Rickard as he tours his sub-alpine garden in Trentham from 3.00 to 3.30 pm on Saturday 26 September. Just follow our Instagram page @opengardensvictoria and click on the message that pops up when it starts at 3.00 pm. 

Many of you will have seen Simon's garden on ABC's Gardening Australia, which has featured the garden in both summer and winter. We're excited that Simon is now giving us this unique opportunity to see his garden in the spring. The word is that Simon plans to focus particularly on his bulb garden and woodland area on Saturday, so be sure to join us and learn how he selects and combines his plants with the cool-climate spring in mind.

You can see more images from Simon's spring garden on the 'What's On' segment for our September 'Beautiful Bulbs' Competition, which - serendipitously - Simon is judging!
