EVERY PLANT AND GARDEN
TELLS A STORY (G1)
With the help of Jim Fogarty, Nigel Ruck,
lily Van Epen, Matt Leacey and Brad Baxter,
Don will construct a modern backyard farm
garden that the public can watch evolve
over the four days of the show. Visitors will
have the opportunity to contribute to design
decisions of the ‘work in progress’ garden.
On the surface everyone enjoys a
garden as beautiful, peaceful places
for repast, but walk with one of
us and you will hear the stories of
history, science, wonder and magic
that each plant and display tells.
Every plant and garden tells a story,
you only need to listen and learn
and you will love them as we do. We
have divided our garden into four
displays, each telling a different
story about our Parklands and
Botanic Gardens.

DIRTY IDEAS FOR
EVERY DAY GARDENS (G4)
Any space around any building or outdoor
structure has the potential to be a garden!
Forget about size, if you have air and light,
you too can be a gardener and enhance your
life. The team at NGINA set about creating
mini-gardens for the most unlikely places.
This includes such unlikely combinations as:
converting a casserole dish into a herb garden,
growing a tea plant in a teapot, or courgettes in
a letter box; or why not use the old bath
for fresh herbs, veggies or flowers in your own
back yard. Then there’s the old wardrobe for
a vertical garden, hang flowers on the
washing line and an old barbecue
makes a superb herb garden!

The Unexpected Garden for
St VINCENT’S Curran Foundation (G13)
USTRALIAN GARDEN SHOW 2014
ONCEPT ELEVATION 2
For those with early onset dementia gardening
and gardens can be a lifeline, giving coping strategies and a
sense of place.
The Unexpected Garden is first and foremost a
great garden that any visitor to the Australian Garden Show
Sydney might be attracted to having. However, on deeper
inspection, the visitor will find that the garden has
therapeutic qualities and specific elements that support a
person with dementia.
The garden is structured along a simple flowing path, opening
to provide a shaded space with water feature and bench, then
onto an open space with a pavilion for shelter. The exploratory
element is important, allowing someone to wander, to
place themselves within the space, but not be faced with dead
ends and decisions about direction that might confuse them.
A second layer to the garden is a gentle sensory experience
allowing someone to experience the world through especially
fragrance and touch. Not only is this achieved through planting
with species such as Dianthus “Memories,” but also through
elements such as the textures of the garden pavilion and bench,

Open Woodland is a garden

throughout Australia, Myles has a
passion for a multitude of planting
types, textures as well as clever
functional spaces. To display this
