MIFGS Update: Construction Day 4

It was a hot and windy day at MIFGS today as the Ian Barker Gardens team entered day 4 of the construction of our garden ‘Cross Roads’ presented by Australian House & Garden. The wind certainly played havoc with the garden, even knocking some of our trees over, but we are pleased to say the trees are fine and the meadow has held up quite well considering!
While the team had a hard day, they were able to make progress on the paving which is now almost complete and towards the end of the day they were finally able to start placing some of the trees into the garden.
We’re all very excited to see how everything is looking tomorrow!
Stay tuned for more updates as the garden continues to develop and keep scrolling to check out the photos from today…
