In this episode, I travel to the stunning nineteenth-century Colac Botanic Gardens in the Western District of Victoria to meet with Gordon Morrison, well-known gardener and tree fancier who is also the former director of the Ballarat Fine Art Gallery. Gordon reveals the many secrets and stories of four remarkable tree varieties from the Araucaria family, which were extraordinarily popular during our era. These trees become a portal into the world of gardens and plant hunting in the nineteenth century. I hope you join us for a very special on-location episode.
