Garden Tour: Michael McCoy's private dry climate garden!

This week on The Horti-Culturalists a very special visit to garden designer, broadcaster and author Michael McCoy's private garden near Woodend in country Victoria. This is Michael's experimentation lab where he can take more risks than with a clients garden, and where he can test ideas and plant combinations over time. And in fact, Michael's garden was so fabulous...we had to return! Actually, we were rained out on our first attempt so this footage covers two visits with about a month in between!
In this video we'll first talk to Michael about his gardening philosophy and what this garden does for him, we'll tour some of his experimental areas and end up beneath the majestic 170 yr old oak(s) which were the only things on the block when Michael arrived and began his garden!
