Trisha Dixon is an author, photographer and tour leader with a passion for literature, art, landscape, architecture, music and gardens. Trisha lives in a nearly 200 year old garden at the foothills of the Snowy Mountains that survives six months a year with only her resident wallaby ‘Wally’ looking after it and a nil by mouth water regime. Thankfully the huge towering elms provide much needed shade and colour and protection from the winds. and a trout stream meanders through the bottom of the garden where a long table is often the scene of long lunches with poetry and music and great conversation. Other buildings on the property are used by writers and artisans during the year and the beguiling ancient landscape nourishes much creativity.

Tricia will share some inspiring and innovative landscapes created in one of the driest continents on earth – which we in Australia have much to learn from as they live constantly with minuscule annual rainfall – not like our seesaw of drought to flood climate here in Australia. This will be an illustrated meander looking at trends in gardening and garden making in dry climates by some renowned designers such as Tom Stuart Smith, Chelsea Gold winner and the late Yves St Laurent. Trisha will showcase gardens that extract the best of nature in the climate they were created in …appealing to our affinity for the natural ecologies that nourish our earth.
