Edna Walling‘s trademark landscape features include fine flights of steps, flagstone paths, dry-stone walls and elegant sweeping boarders. Edna self-built her own cottage and created Bickleigh Vale Village in Mooroolbark, outer Melbourne. She had an extraordinary career: she was a landscape designer, gardener, photographer, builder, architect, journalist, author, sketcher, watercolourist, conservationist – and eco-visionary. In short, she was an Artist. He
