How a couple transformed a narrow country block into a playful hedge maze
In short: In the spa region of Daylesford, Victoria, a unique garden blends a traditional carnival-style maze with a productive food plot. This video explores how a long, narrow landscape was reimagined into a functional and whimsical space featuring a massive, three-decade-old hedge.
Located in Newlyn North on Dja Dja Wurrung Country, the property showcases the vision of owners Trish and Chris. The centerpiece is a 30-year-old hedge maze constructed from Leyland Cypress (Hesperotropsis leylandii ‘Leighton Green’).
Beyond the maze, the 2-hectare site functions as a productive garden, incorporating various fruit trees such as apples (Malus domestica cv.). The project demonstrates how creative landscaping can turn an unconventional, narrow plot into a vibrant, multi-purpose environment.
