How this sprawling hilltop garden provides artistic inspiration | Discovery | Gardening Australia
Millie visits a garden in central Victoria where plants and creativity merge. Subscribe 🔔 ab.co/GA-subscribe
Lily Langham's garden sits on 5 acres on a hill overlooking bush and farmland, about 100km north-west of Melbourne. It has views to Lalgambook (Mt Franklin) and Mt Alexander.
The garden is both creative outlet and inspiration for Lily’s artwork - mini sculptures based on plants and creatures found in her garden.
“I studied fine arts and sculpture at uni and while I was studying I worked for my aunt, who’s a garden designer.” Lily was already plant-wise - she “grew up in a garden”, thanks to her mother, an avid gardener who, at 86, still runs a stunning garden. Experiencing garden design helped meld her artistic eye with her plant knowledge, and she has since studied horticulture to add to that.
There are no straight lines, and the garden evolved as Lily craved more space to plant more varieties. It is based more on the shape of the land, with ‘moon-shaped’ beds and borders.
The former vegie garden is now her nursery plot for seed collection. Many of the varieties she uses in garden designs are grown from her own plants
Many of Lily’s family plants have the flowers arranged in whorls around the stem: Jerusalem sage, for example, which holds its form until late winter. While many perennial growers cut plants back after flowering, Lily leaves hers until late August to cut back, so the frosty winters offer a different season of beauty.
She has designed the garden to be involved and held in rather than looked at.
At the lower layers she has sculpted garden paths through paddocks of grasses, both native and introduced. She loves that there is so much living with these grasses: birds, insects and other critters.
Her sculptures often capture a moment she has enjoyed in her garden, and there are many places to sit and be quiet.
Featured plants:
Greek Jerusalem sage (Phlomis samia)
Globe thistle (Echinops ritro cv.)
*Yarrow (Achillea cv.)
*Tiger lily (Lilium lancifolium cv.)
* Check species before planting: they may be environmental weeds in your area.

    Wonderful to know your background story. I lived on Bribie Island some years back. As a keen Victorian gardener, I had to learn a whole new way of growing with a sub tropical climate. Had lots of failures, but eventually got it together. Now I’m back in Victoria and in my “comfort zone”, but I miss the bananas, paw-paws and mangoes in the back yard! 😎 Love your enthusiasm and down to earth advice. Blessings 🐸🦋🎶

    The railway should encourage everyone to plant out alongside track...instead of dumping rust, track items, and large mounds of railway track gravel just dumped in mounds, also occasionally the railways even pull out plantings. We should not have to ask it should be mandatory, esp in view of all the railway works being done ..

    I have exactly that same pot at home..... useless thing, it is. Always getting the drain hole blocked and drowning plants in it. Then the potting mix gets all hydrophobic and dries any plants out that way. I now have it upended and half buried behind a shady tree in the garden for the little frogs to hide in.
