Clean up your clippers and sharpen your shears, Graham is travelling to NSW’s Shoalhaven River to visit a stunning garden that’s a complete paradise for topiary lovers. At Merribee Gardens you’ll find regular backyard shrubs transformed into living, breathing sculptures with meticulous precision. You’ll also find some gorgeous blooms and even a potager garden, so it’s fair to say this place is bursting with inspiration.
