Open Garden – Sunnymeade

Open Gardens Victoria invites visitors to experience Sunnymeade, the acclaimed Anglesea garden of award-winning landscape designer Peter Shaw, opening this April. Nestled among striking twisted stringybark trees, the garden presents a relaxed coastal style shaped by its natural surroundings and designed for family living.
Originally discovered by Peter and Simone Shaw in 2000, the site was carefully developed to preserve its mature trees, which now define the garden’s character. Structured plantings of clipped correas and westringias near the home gradually give way to more informal, flowing spaces, with winding gravel paths, drystone walls, and a sculpted lawn creating a sense of movement and discovery.
Evolving over more than two decades, Sunnymeade reflects an ongoing exploration of plants, textures, and seasonal colour. Visitors can explore the Sacred Garden of indigenous species, alongside productive vegetable beds and creative planting that connects house and landscape. A garden talk by Peter Shaw will be held at 11.30am each day, with local artists’ work on display and for sale, plus light refreshments, coffee and snacks available.
Featured on several major design and garden programs and winner of a Victorian Landscape Award, Sunnymeade offers an inspiring and immersive garden experience.
