Helen Botham – La Trobe’s Cottage Garden

Helen Botham has carried out research into garden history for the National Trust and the Australian Garden History Society and was a researcher and contributor to the Oxford Companion to Australian Gardens. Being also a member of the La Trobe Society, and founding chair of the Friends of La Trobe’s Cottage, she has a particular interest in the garden La Trobe created at Jolimont and now coordinates the La Trobe’s Cottage garden volunteer group. Her book, published in 2006, La Trobe’s Jolimont – A Walk Around My Garden uses the illustrations of Edward La Trobe Bateman to give an insight into La Trobe’s Jolimont estate and the people who lived there.

A Zoom meeting link will be sent to members a day or two before the event.
