1-year later, @gardeningaustralia airs tonight and on iview. Features @unimelb_burnley and @woody_meadow_project . Lovely cameos with Chris and the students but Bruno steals the show 🐈. Some more recent garden photos here too.

Is this a painting class? Is she an art teacher? Are they all artists? No! This is Plants in the Landscape, where students use collage to explore plants. No wonder it turned into a therapeutic lesson by the end of the day!

Very excited to be part of a intensive research project with @johnprayner and @novel_ecosystem working @unimelb_burnley to evaluate plant species and mixes best suited to thrive in Laak Boorndap The Melbourne Arts Precinct Plant Trials is a three-year partnership between @unimelb_burnley @artsprecinctmelburne @developmentvic @hassell_studio @superbloomau @jameshitchmough and @nigel.dunnett . The plant trials are being conducted on a rooftop at @unimelb_burnley in shallow substrate and harsh weather conditions to replicate the environment of Laak Boorndap. link to this weekend's Age article about the project in my bio Videographer draggatt

Rescued these before the heatwave🌞. Hope everyone stays cool. Time to pretend that sleeping in the lounge is just like being on holiday in a studio apartment 😁 🍹

This beautiful view marked my 14 years at Burnley today! Can't believe it myself but I guess time flies. These Cosmos are really a star at the entrance to the main building 🌺

This painting feels like a leap forward for me into painting with a bit more volume and depth. Lots of sanded layers and play. Thanks @8paint for a wonderful workshop on abstracting flowers 🌺 #abstractbotanical #absractfloral #icelandicpoppies #colourjoy
