OGA spade by Geoff Farquhar Still
The much-loved, now missed but not forgotten organisation Open Gardens Australia (which folded in 2015) is being remembered in a new garden, the OGA Celebration Garden on the Events Terrace at the National Arboretum in Canberra. It’s been a long time coming but the new garden is finally taking shape.

Designed by ACT-based landscape architect Neil Hobbs of Harris Hobbs Landscapes, the garden design reflects the goals and legacy of Open Gardens Australia. The 500sqm garden features a grassed marquee space, bird bath and seating and includes this beautiful sandstone work by Rock Solid Masonry, as well as the very elegant OGA logo spade, made by artisan Geoff Farquhar Still.
