Oak Cottage is a private garden in the Central Victorian Highlands town of Macedon, an hours drive north of Melbourne. The aim with this garden was to frame the original 1900’s weatherboard facade with an era appropriate naturalistic cottage style garden. The garden needed to be sympathetic to both its bush surrounds, and the existing 100 year old English oak.
I’m trying to not get emotional about this absolutely magical outdoor space but it is very difficult. If my next home is going to end up with a fair amount of land, I will be looking to this for inspiration. Designed by Tim Pilgrim.
