Avenue of Achievable Gardens

The Excellence Award was awarded to Emma Powell of Melbourne Polytechnic, for her garden ‘Reframe’.

LVML Student Members, Gina Robertson of Melbourne Polytechnic, and Galin Dimitrov of Holmesglen were part of nine student designers to be featured in the Avenue of Achievable Gardens at MIFGS this year.

Gina’s contemplative garden, 'Balance by Nature', is centred around a swirling garden path that meanders through the garden. She has used shades of green, blue, and grey foliage to calm the senses, while complimentary earthy tones of red ochre, orange and yellow radiate warmth. A shallow water pond reflects sunlight, while climbing vines wind their way through a trio of trellis columns.

Galin’s garden, 'The Quiet Corner', inspires outdoor living with a palette of evergreen plants accented with a splash of bright blooms.

The bench invites the viewer to enjoy a gin & tonic with a slice of homegrown lime, while you contemplate the beauty and tranquillity of your own urban oasis, while a firepit makes the space inviting all year round.
