Bishopscourt Garden

Bishopscourt is the residence of the Anglican Archbishop of Melbourne. It is on Clarendon Street facing Fitzroy Gardens and has a beautiful English garden in its own right. The Historic Garden Society maintains the garden with contributions of much caring time and labour by many volunteers and contributions of plants and kind from several businesses. Helen Page, who has been the inspiration and driving force behind this initiative, has put together a collection of photos showing the evolution of the garden from 2002 to 2008.
