Drouin

An avenue of mature trees leads into Drouin revealing 5 acres of stunning flower-filled, colourful and extensively planted gardens. In all there are more than 900 roses. Shrub roses in all shades make a dazzling display with added pizazz from the many climbers that cover arches, arbours and a domed gazebo. It is difficult to decide on a highlight but a favourite is a long line of Pierre de Ronsard roses clambering up pillars and draped along ‘rose swags’ beside the trickling water rill.

General entry to this garden is $10, and $8 for Open Gardens SA Members and for those with a Commonwealth Government Pensioner Concession Card or Health Care Card. Under 18 receive free entry. Visitors are encouraged to bring cash as EFTPOS facilities are not always available.
