BOUTIQUE GARDENS SLANT
Riley Cooper's design "Slant" was inspired by the undulating hills of where the Otways meets the western stony rises, and looks at how we live within a sloping site without an overuse of traditional hardscape intervention.
Riley is excited for the show garden competition and seeing the distinct approaches each designer adopts. He finds it fascinating to observe how they stretch the limits and conceive innovative ideas in the design.
With a particular interest in plant design and its ability to establish a sensory link with a place or emotion, Riley is an avid enthusiast of creative gardens, and is excited to have the opportunity to create a garden that not only inspires but excites those who visit it.
"Slant" is located at stand A52 at the Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show.
