Join author, Better Homes & Garden 2026 Garden Guru, landscape architect and passionate gardener Natasha Morgan for a joyful exploration of all things growing and the relationships that we develop with ourselves, our communities, and with the natural world.
Natasha first connected to gardening in her family garden in Stonnington: starting a passion which has carried throughout her life. Through her love of gardening, she will share her philosophy and knowledge of connection within the magical world of plants. Do plants have their own voice? Do they care for one another? How should we care for them?
Natasha says: “The past 12 years have been a lesson in what it really means to live well. Moving to the country, creating Oak & Monkey Puzzle—an idyllic, internationally recognised garden—navigating a pandemic, and now settling into my next chapter on a small block in Daylesford, squeezing in the very best of those country life lessons. Along the way, I’ve learned that true success has nothing to do with material things. Instead, it’s about the richness of experience, the rhythm of the seasons, and the deep contentment found in tending the land and sharing what I love.
Drawing on years of experience creating beautiful, abundant and nourishing spaces, Natasha will explore how gardens can be productive not only in food and flowers, but also in wellbeing, habitat, creativity and connection.
This National Trust Victoria event is ideal for gardeners, anyone curious about sustainable gardening or edible landscapes and the quiet power of caring for place.
