This tour focuses on city living and gardens of refuge and delight of all scales and for varying age groups. The tour features homes with incredible architecture, softened and grounded by the surrounding garden, shared living spaces and small gardens where design makes full use of the site.

From renovated gardens that surround reimagined beach houses to gardens with breathtaking views of Port Philip Bay, the coastal tour presents five gardens in the Mornington Peninsula region of Victoria.  The gardens reflect the lifestyles of the owners and capture the essence of Australian living blending the natural environment with the designed. 

This workshop is designed for photographers, arborists, landscape architects, landscape designers, planners, environmental professionals, and anyone interested in trees and landscapes.

Participants will develop both technical and creative skills to develop images that are visually compelling and professionally useful to assist with decision making about a large tree's ecological function, cultural identity, landscape character, and climate resilience.

Large mature trees are among the most important elements of urban and rural landscapes, yet their significance is often underestimated in planning, development, infrastructure, and land management decisions.

Photography is a powerful tool for documenting these valuable assets, supporting design and planning processes, communicating landscape values, and advocating for the protection of significant trees. Effective images can reveal the scale, form, condition, and contribution of trees to the landscape in ways that technical reports alone cannot.

Tree photography presents unique challenges, from capturing scale and structure to working with complex backgrounds, difficult lighting, and diverse landscape settings. Through a combination of discussion, image critique, and field-based practice, we’ll explore practical techniques for overcoming these challenges and strengthening visual storytelling.

Workshop is led by the brilliant Dr Alison Pouliot.

Gardens make us feel better, but why is it so? In this workshop with Landscape Architect and author, Sandra Schwarz, explore the evidence of how green spaces bring us respite and restoration. Learn how this applies to your own personal planted places and individual preferences.

We will connect with and be inspired by the Burnley gardens setting, mindfully experience Nature here and draw on these experiences to examine your own sense of Prospect & Refuge.  A guided exploration into what makes a green spaces restorative for 'you' will increase your understanding of, and ability to apply these universal design considerations at home and beyond.

We will close with a nature-connected experience of goodies and you will take home prompts, inspiration and tools to continue the journey further if you so choose.

This workshop, ‘How to be a Garden Detective' offers a unique opportunity to work with the acclaimed author Tim Richardson, a leading historian of gardens, art, architecture and food (sweets). Tim is one of the world’s most experienced garden writers and has published 28 books about gardens, garden designers, garden history and other topics. Tim is a regular contributor to Gardens Illustrated, and a former writer for Country Life, The Idler, House and Garden, Wallpaper. He was also the co-founder of the Chelsea Fringe Festival.

This workshop is for both the professional designer and amateur garden lover who wants to delve into the ideas behind the design. It will include case studies of specific gardens including printouts of maps and plans and Tim will work through concepts and examples on how to analyse and interpret various designs.

Support for one individual grant recipient, with up to four available. Includes acknowledgement on the conference website.
