There’s something instantly calming about being in a garden: it simply feels good to spend time in nature. As SALIFE once again brings to life our much-loved annual Gardens Issue, it’s been fascinating to see the restorative nature of gardens resonate throughout the stories and across the pages.
This month, we head to the grand garden at Eurilla in the Adelaide Hills for a stunning fashion shoot under the watch of fashion editor Emma Riemersma.
We also step inside a stunning dream home, named Le Jardin, owned by Casie and Michael France, who hosted their wedding on the grounds of the property, and even grew every flower for the event there.
Fashion designer Stavroula Adameitis hosts a retro dinner party with bursts of colour and a menu that champions the dishes that may have fallen out of favour with some – but not Stav.
Meet Rebecca Starling, an English woman who fell in love with an Australian and has now transformed herself into a flower farmer in the South East. Rebecca tells us about instantly falling in love with the Australian landscape: “Especially the space, tranquillity and beauty of the landscape,” she says. “The bright light is so different from the dull days in England.”
We’re also celebrating Mother’s Day and Tasting Australia all at once, with Jessica Galletly chatting to some food personalities about what the word mum means to them.
