Can you feel a person in a place? I'd say you can. And after spending time talking to my friend Annie Winter (@annmaree.winter) about her garden, I understand it a little better. I've known Annie for a year and visited her garden plenty of times. It never fails to produce a 'whoosh' feeling. The planting is extraordinary, and it's one of those places where I can happily lose track of time wandering around. But this time, I got to hear the full story behind it. Her story. The ideas, experiments, decisions and work. All the thinking, planting, chopping and dropping, reflecting and occasionally battling that goes into making a garden what it is. And it occurred to me that while plenty of us can plant a perennial garden in these colours, none of us will make quite the same one. Because a garden isn't just a collection of plants. It's also the person doing the planting. Their history, their instincts, their particular way of looking at the world, and the extraordinary amount of time they spend trying to persuade a patch of ground to cooperate. Annie's garden is unmistakably hers. Which makes sense, because Annie is unmistakably Annie: funny, wholehearted, as real as the dirt under your fingernails, and genuinely thrilled by your smallest gardening victories. She's also very good at bringing good people together and patiently answering my noob gardening questions. Writing about her and her garden for the November issue of @gardeningaustraliamag has been a highlight of my year. I somehow managed to turn our two-hour conversation into 1,200 words - with help from editor Liz, subeditor Katherine and horticulture editor @thehabitatguru Thank you all, and especially Annie, for sharing so much of her knowledge and herself. And now you can visit the garden, too! It's opening with Open Gardens Victoria on November 28 and 29, from 12–6 pm. The early afternoon session on Saturday has sold out, but I'd recommend a later visit if you can get a ticket. The light through the grasses is magnificent, and your camera will thank you.

“The Melbourne Group” who went to Tenterfield for @carolynrobinsongardendesign Eagles Bluff Open Garden. This beautiful bunch of plant-appreciating humans have all been connected to The Sentimental Gardener in different ways. From being guests, to answering my millions of questions, to giving their opinions, to being a friendly face at garden opens to all of them allowing me to immerse my senses in their glorious gardens. It wasn’t just the views and gardens that moved me on the weekend. It is the generosity of spirit of each and everyone in this group plus an unspoken knowledge of what being in a space like Eagles Bluff, the living palette, means to us. I’ve come away with shared memories of both fun and wonder and there’s already chatter about where the next adventure will be! I’ve added a few new like-minded people to my garden group after this trip - the mastermind behind it all @annabellehickson and @carolynrobinsongardendesign So - whenever you have an opportunity, pick a garden as an outing, invite some friends, explore new places together and get ready to have sore cheeks from smiling and laughing together. And if you can’t, why not collect beautiful garden books … there’s a special one coming out in March by @galah.press celebrating the life, lessons and designs of @carolynrobinsongardendesign. Pre-order now at Galah’s website.

I hope you’re enjoying your gardening and that you’re ready for your next dose of Gardener Folks inspiration. Let me introduce you to Sandra Schwarz who is someone I’ve had the fortune of knowing for a few years now. Sandra has a wonderful approach to life, embracing it with an attitude of “Why Not?! Just give it a go” and that is evident in her richness of life, studies, creative pursuits and careers. She is a dedicated learner, seeker of knowledge and is passionate about sharing about the restorative value and benefits of gardens and nature for humans as evidenced by her recently authored book RESTORE, which is a valuable resource for all of us interested in gardens. We get to chat regularly when she volunteers at the Royal Talbot Rehabilitation Centre gardens, so I’m excited to share her thoughts and musings beyond there into the realm of Gardener Folks here. To see more of Sandra’s gardening happenings you can follow along on her Instagram @human_nature_scapes and also visit her website www.humanaturescapes.net Thank you Sandra. I encourage you to click on the link in this Gardener Folks page bio to get to the full version for a longer read at the Steven Wells The Gardener website which is where all GF profiles live. I hope you enjoy this read as I did. All words and images supplied by Sandra Schwarz with sincere thanks. Happy gardening. Cheers, Steven #gardenerfolks

1. The sky threatened rain, but it behaved for us and made for a wonderful Saturday with friends. Under the instruction of artist Gay Chatfield and located at Louise Brown’s picturesque property in Gruyère, we gathered to create baskets and garden sculptures from weaving willow and other materials with one sculpture already designated to hold up a droopy ‘Pierre De Ronsard’ rose. Thank you for a wonderful day @gaychatfield + @yarravalley_stories 2. It’s so interesting to watch how everyone starts with the same materials, then the creativity starts flowing and we all end up with a unique creation. 3. When you find your people 🫶 4. A euphorbia in the foreground extending to beautiful views across the Yarra Valley 5. Teepees, sculptures or plant supports - all so unique and beautiful and I kind of think the wonkier the better! 6. Autumn makes way for winter which becomes an opportunity to use deciduous trees for our creations. It’s given me a whole new way to use my winter pruning. 7. Caption this: ….. 8. My question was: “will this fit in your car!” Yes, yes it did! 9. Genevieve with her rose support in progress. 10. Moments like this together allow all types of conversations to flow - like the one we had about her stick collection and how she makes sticks fences 11. It wasn’t all about the teepees - many of us made baskets too. 12. I took a sneaky wander through Louise’s glorious garden. Once you’ve spent a while taking in the spectacular view across the Yarra Valley, you need to turn your back and walk towards the house. There you’ll find vignettes of plants and pots, placed like works of art. 13. Oof. The moodiness of winter 14. Terracotta pots looking empty, but they’re just full of friends sleeping 15. The perfect example of how a winter garden doesn’t mean a bland garden Gay Chatfield Willow Weaving Flowerdale

This was our event, Twilight at the Winter Garden, and what a truly magical experience it was! Surrounded by the lush and beautiful @annmaree.winter and Paul’s gardens, every moment felt like stepping into a storybook from delicate blooms to peaceful pathways. The day was filled with joy, laughter, and togetherness. We are so grateful to everyone who attended and made this event so special. Your smiles, energy, and love for nature truly brought the gardens to life! We can’t wait to see you at our next event!

Yesterday Daisy and I had the pleasure of visiting Annie & Paul @annmaree.winter Thank you both so very much for inviting Daisy and I into your beautiful garden once again. It was the most perfect way to spend the afternoon. So blessed to see my friend Cath @blue_wren_gardening for the second time in a week while she’s here in Victoria. It was also a treat to see Attila @attilathehorticulturist again along with finally meeting Cass @the_sentimental_gardener and Fleur @gardenswithfleur The afternoon flew by and was filled with chats, chai and garden strolls. I couldn’t this if a nicer way to spend an afternoon. My cup is overflowing today and Daisy is out cold after all the love showered upon her by every single person. Feeling extremely grateful right now 🍃
