Celebrated landscape designer, Paul Bangay, has been in the biz for 30 years, and for 16 of them he has been tending to his own private garden just outside Daylesford.
Named Stonefields, the sprawling property is Paul’s labour of love. It is regal and robust, filled with flowers, hedges and ponds all inspired by the great country houses of the United Kingdom. A new book by Paul celebrates the seasonal landscape he has curated, and observes the botanical shifts that comes with each one. Stonefields: By The Seasons charts a mature garden in full bloom after years of patient growing.
Our own Lucy Feagins will join Paul for a stroll around Stonefields and a conversation about this meaningful project this Saturday November 14th at 10am on Instagram live!

Nestled in a leafy, tranquil pocket of the Melbourne CBD, right next to the MCG sports precinct, is the suburb of East Melbourne. It’s here, in this curiously quiet corner of a giant capital metropolis, that landscape architect Nadia Gill was engaged for her latest project.
The ‘Henry House’ garden is a lively addition to a recently renovated heritage terrace. Framed by original Victorian detailing at the front, and a gnarled old apple tree at the rear boundary line, these reinvigorated green spaces create a dialogue between the home’s old and new architecture.
If you’ve ever wondered how to create the perfect indoor-outdoor transition, this garden is your masterclass!

When designing a garden, the scope is usually limited to what the owners themselves want to see in their space. But what happens when your garden backs onto a busy coastal walk, and needs to look just as good to passers-by as it does from the residence?
Secret Gardens has made a magnificent effort to answer that question with their Gordon’s Bay project. By drawing on the colours of the surrounding headland, and inserting a diverse palette of succulents and drought-resistant natives, the expert landscape designers have transformed the vertiginous sandy stretch into a verdant, public-facing garden.
Not to mention adding a rooftop cactus garden and Mediterranean-inspired courtyard to boot!
