Open Gardens Victoria - Talking Garden Design October 2025

Join us for an inspiring evening at Collingwood Yards with special guests Tim Pilgrim and Peter Shaw, known for their innovative and sustainable landscapes that blend naturalistic planting with modern design. With a shared passion for ecological integrity and visual harmony, Tim and Peter craft outdoor spaces that are both beautiful and biodiverse. Their work often features layered textures, native plant palettes, and a strong connection to place — reflecting a deep respect for the environment.
The conversation will be facilitated by Michael McCoy, a respected garden designer, author, and host of ABC TV’s Dream Gardens.
This event is held at the Collingwood Yards, which is a vibrant, mixed-use arts precinct set within the historic buildings of the former Collingwood Technical School. It functions as a contemporary arts incubator, where creativity and community intersect and new cultural expressions are born.
Arrive by 5.30pm.
