The abundance of spring

We’ve had some fabulous photos of spring shared with us by OGV followers on our social media. Weeks of warm weather and rain have been the perfect combination to wake up our gardens and they’re now bursting with colour, foliage and life. Our OGV Designer Faye has also captured some of what spring looks like in her area, with beautiful wisteria and lush honey bush showing their beauty and profusion. If you have any photo’s to share with us, email your high-resolution photos through to operations@opengardensvictoria.org.au.
