There’s a rare opportunity to view professionally designed private gardens in the Macedon Ranges during Garden DesignFest over the weekend of November 19-20.
Five gardens will open for the event across Kyneton, Tylden and Gisborne – all differing in design and features.
They range from designers Kate and Kendall Monk’s Aperture Garden in a residential area in Kyneton to Bruce Honey’s nine-acre ‘Verdicus’ in Tylden, where the garden’s overall design is a fusion of picturesque and formal design.
During the weekend, visitors will be able to talk to the designers who will generously give their time to be present at gardens.
Bruce Honey, the owner/designer of Verdicus, will host tours at 11.30am and 2pm. All gardens are open 10am to 5pm. Entry fees range from $5 to $12 (depending on the size of the garden).
Garden DesignFest is organised by the Rotary Clubs of Kew, Central Melbourne and Brighton North and has raised more than $600,000 since 2004. The main charity for this year’s event will be Youth Suicide Awareness.
The Rotary Club of Kyneton is assisting with the conduct of Garden DesignFest in the Kyneton/Macedon region.
