Filtered through an ancient oak tree, dappled light flickers over this garden in country Victoria, joining bobbing flowerheads and wiggling bees in a bucolic dance, choreographed by nature – and by landscape designer Tim Pilgrim.
The story of this garden began when city girl Virginia was seduced by the country, encouraged by friends who had settled in Macedon. In the wake of Covid, Melbourne had lost its charm and, Virginia says, “Every time I’d visit their house, it would feel like this beautiful escape from the city.”
