Through droughts and flooding rains, where to for the garden in 21st century Australia? A panel discussion led by Christine Reid and Richard Aitken, Terence Lane, James Broadbent, along with Neil Robertson.
NEIL ROBERTSON has been involved in Australia’s Open Garden Scheme since 1988, and was one of the chief architects of its national expansion. He was the Scheme’s National Executive Officer from 1990 to 2010. He is a dedicated gardener - his own garden, Westport at New Gisborne, opens regularly for the Scheme - and when not armed with trowel and secateurs, he is to be found ensconced with a good book in his library.
This lecture was part of THE GARDEN OF IDEAS: STUDY DAY 1 convened by Christine Reid and held to coincide with THE GARDEN OF IDEAS | An Australian Garden History Society national touring exhibition.
