This might seem like a post by 'House and Garden' magazine and maybe one day it's going to be that. Peter had the pleasure of visiting Hilkiah House at Kinglake on New Year's Day 2021 and to explore its amazing garden growth. In twenty years this bare grassy two acre property has been transformed into a massive 'secret' garden. The fires of Black Saturday licked its edges eleven years ago, as one of the pictures (tree with a face) will show, nearly destroyed it. But the family were committed to keeping it safe if at all possible, and they did. It is a place of healing and renewal. Peter's friends offer this little piece of God's healing touch through their hospitality vision. It was a lovely way to 'book end' the change of the years, first with Gembrook Retreat the day before and then with Hilkiah House to step into the year with. Enjoy, and imagine being there.
