Old Trees Never Die. This Achievable Garden, designed by Swinburne student, Tracie Dyson, asks us to think about generational connections and how we value elder trees (and people) in our lives.
Using a gentle palette of mostly Australian plants, in silver-grey and copper hues, selected plant and timber textures soften a strongly geometric seating arrangement with the stunning octagon fire pit a major feature.
An innovative interpretation of a Grass Tree using a local native grass (Knobby Club Rush) mounted high on a constructed stand is a clever way to achieve a certain look in an affordable way.
