Just 20 minutes south, Binchy's Garden in seaside-Dalyston is a grevillea lover's dream, with a collection of nearly 200 hand-grafted rare and endangered species gathered over two decades by garden owner and horticulturalist David Binch.

The majority of grevilleas in David's collection are from Western Australia, species that struggle to grow in southern Victoria. Grafting them onto more tolerant and strong rootstock is the best solution he has found.

Binchy's Garden, 6 Barrier Avenue, Dalyston.
