A wintery weekend walk in the Fitzroy Gardens in Melbourne was full of little surprises. First was the Spanish-style conservatory gardens, blissfully humid to keep the tropical plants and this transplanted Queenslander happy. Technically, the gardens are just outside the boundaries of Fitzroy, but it’s a perfect stop as part of a morning in Melbourne’s coolest neighbourhood.
Behind it was a bright and breezy cafe where our table number was a playing card bearing a horoscope, the perfect place to thaw out and caffeinate. On our way out, we spotted a few early-bird daffodils, one of my favourite flowers. I’ll definitely be back when the whole flower bed is blooming in spring!
