Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne: Guilfoyle's Volcano

This week on The Horti-Culturalists a very special visit to the Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne to meet Andrew Laidlaw, the garden's Landscape Architect, and be taken on a tour of one of the more remarkable features of the garden, Guilfoyle's Volcano! Andrew will explain just what this incredible piece of infrastructure, folly and climate sensitive landscape design actually is and its equally interesting history! Andrew lead the team to reinvent this once abandoned area of the gardens and give it a new and highly practical purpose.
