A rare and very special day across two gardens and two disciplines. Join landscape architect, author and lifelong gardener Natasha Morgan and acclaimed artist Andrew O'Brien of Stonewalls for an immersive masterclass in winter structure - the most honest season in the garden, and the one that teaches you the most. Includes morning tea, a seasonal lunch at Stonewalls and refreshments throughout.

Winter strips a garden back the way removing colour strips a painting back - to form, tone, mass and the spaces in between. Across the day, Natasha and Andrew will teach you to see your own garden that way, and to design with and for the structure that carries it through every season. Natasha brings the eye of a landscape architect trained to read space before planting, Andrew brings the eye of a painter, for whom negative space is load-bearing and the relationships between elements matter more than the elements themselves. Together they make a powerful, generous and genuinely unusual pairing. You will leave seeing gardens, including your own, differently.

Acknowledgement of Country

Across Victoria’s Midwest, we acknowledge that we travel across the ancient landscapes of many First Peoples communities. These lands have been nurtured and cared for over tens of thousands of years and we respect the work of Traditional Custodians for their ongoing care and protection.

We recognise the past injustices against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in this country. As our knowledge grows, we hope that we can learn from their resilience and creativity that has guided them for over 60,000 years. As we invite people to visit and explore Victoria’s Midwest, we ask that alongside us, you also grow to respect the stories, living culture and connection to Country of the Ancestors and Elders of our First Peoples.
