A night of conversation with three renowned Melbourne based designers on their landscape architecture projects, design philosophy and reflections on the process of crafting great gardens.
Our guest speakers are Fiona Brockhoff and Phillip Withers and we are thrilled to announce that Michael McCoy will facilitate this lively discussion about garden design. There'll be an opportunity to ask questions and debate perspectives.
Our speakers have a combined portfolio of projects which span a range of types, styles and geographies from the urban, to the coast and into regional areas of Victoria. Hearing from each on projects and show gardens from their individual practices, this talk will provide landscape designers and home gardeners alike with a range of frameworks to consider the design of landscapes in the contemporary Australian context.
Books will be available for sale after the event.
