Images of Age Exhibition
2009 Victorian Seniors Festival
Beyond the garden wall was devised
and mounted by Surrey Hills Neighbourhood
Centre. Bringing older people, artists
and the community together to promote
positive attitudes to ageing, it looked
at gardening in the lives of Boroondara
seniors through oral histories, paintings,
photography, film and diaries. Jo Reitze’s
paintings record the rich tapestries
created of the participants’ gardens.
The text describes their philosophies
and
influences.

gardening and its significance in
the lives of twenty senior residents

the essence of these gardens, reflecting
the individuality of their creators.

the project; bound oral histories,
photographs of participants in their
garden, the film of the project, personal
visual journals as well as Jo’s
