[@craigfernandes7928]

Thank you! As a novice Melbourne gardner I didn't know about Edna Walling. I'm now mildly obsessed with her and her work. Any other legends like her you'd recommend?

[@thehorti-culturalists]

We wil be featuring another amazing woman in due course by the name of Ellis Rowan who travelled Australia as well as New Guinea painting flowers after the turn of the 20th century. A remarkable character. Regards Stephen

Whats that tree at 18sec?

[@thehorti-culturalists]

If you mean the rough barked trunk it is Pseuotsuga menziesii the Oregon or Douglas Fir. Regards Stephen

More memories. I actually rode with the ponies and the Mckinnon kids. Have weeded in the Walling garden and vegetable patch which was prone to oxalis. Glad to see the house is rebuilt..Liz S.

[@janicecondron5714]

Had the pleasure of visiting this lovely garden late last year. The garden has a truly wonderful and charming atmosphere…

[@thehorti-culturalists]

It does doesn't it!

[@SliceradioAu]

Question about Canna Lilies and “the virus”?

[@thehorti-culturalists]

If you have Canna virus the foliage will be streaked and spotted yellow and it weakens the plants. The only thing to do is discard the plants and start again hopefully with virus free stock. Regards Stephen.

Something I love about Edna Walling's garden designs is that she uses local, natural materials; which is what I do in my historic NZ garden. I use ironstone dug up from our forest, which the original designers of our garden here also used; I use fallen branches as woodland garden edgings and as dead-hedge screens, and as rudimentary rustic Regency fencing (which needs replacing now and then); also, I use stacks of logs in woodland, as bug cities, which grow mosses and fungi, and which house beetles and hibernating frogs. So, the Arts and Crafts movement left its mark on, and is part of the living history of my colonial garden, which started out with Loudon/Repton Victorian influences. These Edna Walling/Arts & Crafts influences (including drifts of bulbs in lawns and wildflower meadows) are perfect for our environmental focus now. Edna Walling - so "now!" Thanks so much for this video. Yours are always GRReat!!

[@thehorti-culturalists]

Glad to see you are an environmentally aware gardener and of course we are happy that you like our videos. Regards Stephen

[@thehorti-culturalists]

By the way where is your garden?

[@cbjones2212]

[@kaystandfield8953]

[@thehorti-culturalists]
