Thank Heather - that means a lot. Sometimes we put things out into the world and not know if it will resonate. But it’s been wonderful sharing the anticipation of this garden with people.
What a fabulous project! This is a great read. Love that this concept is showcasing how beautiful diversity and sustainability can be in urban settings.
Thank you, Cass, for sharing. I'm hoping to go to Melbourne Int. Flower and Garden Show to enjoy the blooms and garden and write an article. So, if I do, I'll definitely drop by the Test Garden. If only all commercial and apartment buildings could have gardens on their rooftops!
Oh thank you for reading and commenting. I appreciate it 🥰
I’ll be heading to MIFGS indeed - probably there Thursday and Saturday sometime 🌱 I’m entering into the hanging basket competition this year, but then I realised that one of the garden designers won last year, so the $800 might not be as realistic a dream as I thought 🤣
Hi Cass, This was a great read thank you! I was there too. I am so excited for this garden. I have been a follower of Jac Semmler's since I did a private garden tour of her house a few years ago. It was early on in my gardening journey ( I don't really like this word!), and my brain was blown by the diversity Jac had in her garden. I have now gone down the rabbit hole of perennial garden design, with the hope of achieving something like this for my own garden. Thank you for the plant list. I was going to look up the plants to see what is what, and add a few to the ever growing wish list! Cheers, Rebecca
Thanks Pip! Your encouragement means so much to me. It’s such a small space, but with a huge impact, that’s gaining momentum. And the people behind it? They’re so special x
Such an exciting project. This was a great read and I love the idea of providing habitat and diversity in urban environments. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks for reading and replying! Yes, I hope it’s the start of changing a lot of mind’s about what’s possible in urban environments.

Well all the best in the hanging basket competition I think they’re gorgeous mini landscapes.
I’ve decided not to attend the Show for family reasons. But I wish you all the best.
Thank you x
I look forward to seeing some photos of your hanging basket.

Thanks for the reply Rebecca 🥰 How inspiring is Jac’s garden?! I love the idea of her verge garden and it’s resilience.
I follow you on insta now, so please keep us updated on your perennial garden! Cass 🌱
This was awesome to read! I was just talking about this garden with friends on the weekend and saying I must get in there. Such an exciting project xo

Right?!? It's such an exciting time for Australian plants too. Are you headed to ALC this month? xo
Yes I’ll be there at the conference - my first time ⭐️ I missed out on tours and talks but all good. Will you be there?
Yay!! I will be there. Looking forward to catching up xo
