Winning sculpture by Julian Smith revealed to the community "On October 26 we were thrilled to launch the new sculpture taking pride of place at Gargarro Botanic Garden, Girgarre. Titled Banksia, the 8m-tall structure created by artist Julian Smith is truly breathtaking – and even more so when it’s in motion, either wind-propelled or moved by people-power! In further exciting news for the gardens, Gargarro has been named as a finalist in the Victorian Premier’s Design Awards
