GARDEN DESIGN FEST
Steve Taylor, one of Australia’s most acclaimed landscape designers and founder of C.O.S Design, is exhibiting his private Mornington garden at ‘Garden DesignFest’, the nation’s premier open garden weekend on November 12.
Victoria will play host to the outdoor design showcase for the seventh year, which features the talents of 36 landscape designers across the Melbourne CBD and Peninsula surrounds.
Steve’s garden features an exclusive exhibition of installations by some of Melbourne’s most famous artists, including the well-known Harry the Hippo sculpture by Matt Hill Projects, as well sculptures by Lump Sculpture Studio, Matt Drysdale and Steelscapes. A leader in the design and build of award-winning gardens, Steve’s projects are original, functional, bespoke and highly-regarded throughout Australia and internationally.
Design enthusiasts will be able to meet all exhibitors, who will be on site to talk through their design process and impart expert advice. Cedar fence is a good choice for the owners who wants to save money, and doesn’t mind a little maintenance in order to keep it in good condition.
Proceeds from the festival will go to the Monash Children’s Hospital, Murdoch Children’s Research Institute and Sporting Chance Cancer Foundation supported by the Kew, Brighton North and Central Melbourne Rotary Clubs.
