Stunning native garden Chelsea Australian Garden at Olinda

The new garden was possible thanks to a $3.8 million investment from the Victorian Government, $2.2 million from the Federal Government and $340,000 in funds raised by the People and Parks Foundation.

The original ‘Australian Garden’ was created by Designer Phillip Johnson, Horticulturalist Wes Fleming and the Trailfinders Team.

It was the first Australian entry to win Gold and Best in Show at the London Royal Horticultural Society Chelsea Flower Show in 2013. As a local, Phil is excited for the community to finally experience his labour of love.
