St Mary’s Vineyard

A tree-lined driveway and drystone walls will lead you into the delightful country garden at St Mary’s Vineyard, the location for the annual Limestone Coast Plant and Trade Fair. Established in 1937, the Mulligan family have created an impressive property with the garden taking centre stage.  Over the years, plants and bulbs suitable for the soil and climate have been planted, and now roses, bulbs, iris, hardy perennials, trees, and shrubs surround the classic homestead and outbuildings, adding colour and texture throughout the year.  In spring, the many roses are at their best – the flowers of the many modern and heritage varieties, David Austins, and climbing roses create a superb show of colour and fragrance.
