Description - Parks & Gardens of Melbourne by Kornelia Freeman
Melbourne's parks and gardens are a place to dream, to be inspired and filled with joy.
Following the best-selling Dandenong Ranges, Yarra Valley, Mornington Peninsula and Laneways of Melbourne, this new sumptuous large format, hard cover 300 plus page coffee table book with over 1500 stunning photos is the latest in our Portraits of Victoria series. Melbourne is famous for its picturesque parks and gardens and is renowned as Australia's garden city. Victoria too is hailed as the Garden State. It was in Melbourne's early development that Governor Charles La Trobe set aside parklands for people to enjoy the beauty of outdoor gardens. Land was reserved for the beautiful Fitzroy Gardens in 1848, and Captain Cook's Cottage as well as over 1,000 trees including an avenue of 250 Dutch and English Elms can be found here. From strolling through these luxurious gardens, to socialising at picnics and attending concerts in the parks, Melbourne's parks
and gardens are at the heart of life in the city. The changing colours of each season bring new beauty, enticing locals and visitors to regularly return.
