An interpretation of Rick Eckersley’s ‘Fantasy Gardens’ category display of ‘The Last Australian Garden’ at the Singapore Garden Festival 15 – 22 July 2010.  According to a write-up in the Festival’s Official Show Programme, Rick Eckersley came from a sheep grazing farm background in southern Australia before moving into the creation of beautiful gardens. The environmental theme he explores here – juxtaposing rural farming implements & materials and rugged natural plantings against the ‘pure, delicate forms of exotic garden plants’ - ‘is a provocative insight into the land and how it is managed’. Here it is ably explained and interpreted by one of the Show’s representatives.
