Joining the EWHA committee has been a very rewarding experience for me. I have my own horticulture business and the social aspect of regularly connecting with others in the industry has been a highlight. It has also been very beneficial professionally as it has provided me with many networking and learning opportunities. When I joined a couple of years ago, I found the committee very supportive and welcoming. In my time as a volunteer I have acquired new skills, made new friends and have had a lot of fun along the way.

In this MIFGS Feature, the designers share how they created a calming sanctuary within a compact walled space, using mirrors, disciplined planting choices and beautiful indigenous species from the Bellarine and Geelong region.
