This week on The Horti-Culturalists a very special episode as April 25th is ANZAC day - the Australian equivalent to Veterans Day in the US or Remembrance Day in the UK - and we were lucky enough to be invited to the Shrine of Remembrance in Melbourne to visit the exquisite gardens there and meet landscape designer Michael Wright who created them. So we'll take a look at the four courtyards of the Shrine and the surrounding gardens, the plants used to create them, all of which serve to honour the service and sacrifice of Victorians and Australians in war, peacemaking and peacekeeping.
If you want to plan a visit to the Shrine of Remembrance you can visit the website here: www.shrine.org...
