Gardening in Kooyong
Understanding Kooyong gardens
Kooyong gardens are formal, private, and designed to be experienced from within rather than displayed to the street. Tall hedging -- English laurel, photinia, and lilly pilly screens up to four metres -- is universal, creating enclosed garden rooms that shield properties from Kooyong Road's traffic and from neighbours. Behind these hedges, gardens tend toward established formality: symmetrical plantings, specimen trees (Japanese maples, magnolias, ornamental cherries), and manicured lawns that are watered year-round. The soil is generally better-draining than the clay-heavy suburbs further east, with some basalt influence providing reasonable structure. Kooyong gardens are high-maintenance by design -- they require frequent hedge trimming, regular lawn care, and seasonal attention to keep them meeting the exacting standards of their owners.

Toorak
Toorak gardens are Melbourne's most ambitious and extensively maintained residential landscapes. Properties regularly feature multiple distinct garden rooms: formal front lawns with symmetrical plantings of clipped hedging and topiary, specimen tree collections including mature magnolias, cedars, and ornamental cherries, parterre-style rose gardens, and expansive rear gardens with swimming pools, tennis courts, and entertaining pavilions set among established plantings.

Hawthorn gardens range from formal parterre-style frontages on the grand Victorian properties to surprisingly deep rear gardens on properties that extend back from narrow frontages. Wisteria, star jasmine, and creeping fig on bluestone walls are signature Hawthorn details.

Malvern gardens are among Melbourne's most impressive in both scale and sophistication, with many properties featuring mature European trees such as English elms, pin oaks, and London planes that form near-complete canopy tunnels along the suburb's principal streets. Extensive hedging -- often three to four metres tall in English laurel or photinia -- provides the privacy screen expected on Malvern's grander properties.

Glen Iris gardens reflect the suburb's transitional character -- you might find a 1940s cottage garden with hollyhocks and agapanthus next door to a minimalist courtyard with architectural grasses and corten steel edging. Properties along Gardiners Creek often contend with periodic flooding and consistently damp rear sections, which limits plant selection to moisture-tolerant species in those zones.

Armadale gardens are characterised by their elegance within constrained spaces. Narrow frontages demand high-impact, low-footprint plantings: clipped standard trees, espaliered camellias on boundary walls, and precisely maintained hedges of English box or star jasmine on wire frames are quintessential Armadale details.
