Down along Victoria’s Great Ocean Road, Charlie explores the mature coastal garden of landscape designer Peter Shaw. Peter’s home garden, Sunnymeade, has been inspired by the close connection he has with the surrounding landscape. It incorporates unique artistic elements whilst also supporting the growth and expansion of his family. Charlie will find out how to incorporate unique sculptural elements and a sense of childhood magic into your garden. He discovers how to expertly weave your garden into the existing landscape, working with your own climate and soil and choosing endemic plants. A little plant-love goes a long way!
