Crome Garden – Open Gardens Vic

Located on the outskirts of Kallista in the heart of the Dandenong Ranges, Crome Garden is the home of artist Prue Crome. Developed over 11 years, this is a plant-rich, evolving garden shaped by its natural setting, generous rainfall and surrounding temperate rainforest. The garden unfolds across three distinct areas: the house garden, hillside garden and the much-loved gully garden.
Spring is a spectacular time to visit, with an impressive collection of rhododendrons, azaleas, daffodils, tulips and other woodland plants creating layers of colour and texture.
The house garden is designed around mature trees planted in the 1980s, including magnificent copper beeches, while shaded areas feature woodland plantings, and sunnier, drier spaces showcase a mix of perennials and Australian natives.
Prue’s atmospheric colour field paintings will be available for purchase during the opening.
Adults $10, students $6, under-18s free. Book at Open Gardens Victoria.
