Garden tour: Dreamthorpe in Mount Macedon

This week on The Horti-Culturalists we were very lucky to visit a wonderful private 19th century garden at the base of Mount Macedon called Dreamthorpe. There are two very different perennial beds for us to compare, deliciously cool moss walks through a woodland garden, the most magnificent row of Monterey cypress and a rose garden with a famous rose! Many thanks to the generous owners and head gardener for allowing us to wander about and the garden is sometimes open via the Open Gardens scheme and you can check out that here: https://opengardensvictoria.org.au/Dr...
