Behind the closed garden gates the fountain pools

Behind the closed garden gates the fountain pools continue to play. The leaves from the trees have now mostly fallen and the gardeners are hard at work behind the scenes. There is much to do before reopening next Spring. Leaf clearing, hedge clipping, bulb planting and the growing on of herbaceous plants are amongst the many projects for the new season ahead. 🌱
In the meantime watch out for our seasonal events in the @melbournehallcourtyard 🍂
Thank you to @katinthehatgardening for the beautiful photograph.

Here's a new view; the beautiful yew tunnel photographed from above by Adam Smith the most long-standing gardener in our team. He and our newest team member, Paul Crossley, @xley_90, have been painstakingly clipping the many, many metres of hedging around the gardens. It takes weeks to complete. They use a Hinowa cherry picker with a cage most of the time and in lower areas often a safe Henchman tripod ladder.
Keeping the sculpted, abstract form is quite an art.
