How a single glass of water changed Michael McCoy's life
In short: Discover the unexpected journey of garden designer Michael McCoy, from a sudden personal loss to working alongside the legendary Christopher Lloyd at Great Dixter.
After the sudden death of his father, Michael McCoy found inspiration in the simple sight of roots growing in a glass of water. This moment led him to study botany and science, eventually leading to an apprenticeship at Melbourne's Rippon Lea Estate.
His career took a transformative turn after reading 'The Adventurous Gardener' by Christopher Lloyd. This connection resulted in a life-changing year living and working at Lloyd's famous Great Dixter garden, an experience McCoy compares to a musician living with Mozart.
