Dream Gardens episode 7 2022: A family rebuild their entire home to make way for an incredible Australian bush billabong retreat in the heart of the city. But can this radical garden really thrive in an urban environment?
Dream Gardens is an Australian lifestyle series written for television, and hosted by botanist, leading landscape designer and author Michael McCoy. The series consists of eight episodes in which McCoy follows and assists with the transformation of a garden and the people behind the project. The show takes the viewers all over Australia to showcase some of the country’s most lavish and beautiful gardens as they are being designed and created. Each episode of Dream Gardens follows a different family in a different part of Australia as they go through the process of designing their dream garden, which often involves varying design visions, budget issues and weather problems.
Dream Gardens episode 7 2022
Join leading landscape designer Michael McCoy as he showcases some of Australia’s most lavish and magnificent gardens from the first spade hitting the ground to the incredible end result. What does it mean to make a garden? What longings do gardens fulfil ? These are the question at the heart of a new show, Dream Gardens, launching on ABC TV this week. Eschewing how-to tips on growing plants (done so well by ABC’s other garden offering, Gardening Australia), this is a show that looks instead at what we want from gardens and how clever garden design can deliver it.
The host is the ebullient Michael McCoy, a garden designer and writer. McCoy has a degree in botany, long experience as a hands-on gardener and sought-after garden designer, and a passionate curiosity about what makes good garden design work. He’s empathetic, enthusiastic and opinionated – the perfect guide to lead viewers around eight gardens-in-the-making.
