‘I always enjoy photographing gardens because nature provides you with compositions that are truly unique … The challenge is to take the audience there via a photograph, so they feel they have a genuine understanding of the garden.’

This exhibition showcases the creativity and passion of some of Australia’s leading landscape designers through a series of specially commissioned photographs of larger, innovative private and public gardens in NSW. The gardens are ‘grand’ in the sense that they are the result of an enormous passion, vision and determination on the part of both the owners and designers to create something out of the ordinary. The photographs, taken by some of our leading garden photographers, capture the essence of contemporary landscape design across the state.
