EVERY GARDEN TELLS A STORY

Great Australian Gardens is a celebration of the places where landscape, creativity and a love of nature come together. Whether you’re a traveller, an artist, a gardener, or simply someone who finds peace among flowers and trees, this space invites you to slow down, explore, and be inspired.

I believe gardens are far more than beautiful backdrops - they’re living expressions of art, culture and belonging. Each one reflects the spirit of its makers and the character of the land itself. My goal is to help you discover those stories, deepen your connection with the landscapes around you, and spark ideas for your own garden-inspired adventures.

About Me

I’m Margaret, a lifelong lover of art, travel, and gardens. I've worked in the tourism industry for 30 years and have been lucky enough to travel the world. Wherever I am, I find myself drawn to gardens and natural spaces. Additionally, being a photographer and mixed media artist, I find my deepest inspiration in gardens. Over the years, I’ve wandered through lush landscapes, photographed vibrant blooms, and found endless inspiration in the textures and colours of gardens. Through this website, I hope to share that inspiration with you.
