We will visit 4 distinctive gardens, public and private, three managed by keen volunteers, one by a very busy family, and a couple of interesting tidbits.
We’ll look at design, plant choices, West Coast sensibility and sustainability. Along the way, we will cycle through lovely residential neighbourhoods, enjoy Victoria’s spectacular coastal scenery.
