Kelso Park – Open Gardens Victoria

Set among the rolling hills of the picturesque Kiewa Valley, Kelso Park is a charming 1.2ha garden in the rural district of Gundowring, north-east Victoria. Developed over 35 years, the garden surrounds a renovated farmhouse, with each garden bed reflecting different stages of family life and the owners’ passion for creating a place of beauty and enjoyment.
Family is at the heart of Kelso Park. Play spaces and a whimsical fairy garden have been created for grandchildren, while the productive vegetable garden supplies seasonal produce for young hands to harvest, inspiring the next generation of gardeners.
Lakeside lawns feature imaginative focal points, including a succulent-filled sunken boat, a weathered 1938 Chevrolet ute and historic farm machinery celebrating the area’s agricultural heritage. Visitors can also enjoy handmade quilts, Filipino street food and homemade treats, with a portion of gate takings donated to the Fred Hollows Foundation.
