Supper & Screening of Botanical Visions: a Horticultural History of Late 19th Century Mount Macedon

The Friends of Kyneton Botanic Gardens are screening a short film titled `Botanical Visions – a Horticultural History of Late 19th Century Mount Macedon’  at Social Foundry café in Kyneton, within the Macedon Ranges.

The film traces how Australia’s most significant and beautiful collection of late 19th-century gardens began, along with the realities of large-scale deforestation. The plant-hunting movements of the time are covered, and the secrets of a 150-year-old garden are revealed. Local horticulturalist, Stephen Ryan, also explores how the botanical legacy of Mount Macedon continues to shape its gardens today.

‘Botanical Visions’ was directed and produced by local resident Elizabeth Langslow in partnership with The Gisborne and Mount Macedon Districts Historical Society and supported by Public Records Victoria.

Tickets are $10 each, including supper, purchased through the booking link. Email enquiries to: friendsKBG@outlook.com
