Each Spring, Bundanoon welcomes visitors to wander through eight beautiful gardens in and around this charming, heritage village. There is always lots to see and do on Ramble weekend.
Braeburn House, located on the outskirts of Beeac in the Colac Otway Shire, is a two-acre landscaped garden created around a historic Western District bluestone homestead.
Birregurra Cottage is a one-acre garden developed by owners Michael Jan and Peter Lovell. This young, imaginative, and densely planted garden, located on the edge of the charming rural village of Birregurra, demonstrates amazing growth and diversity in less than four years.
Alvie Lodge is a beautifully laid out 600 square-metre garden, positioned on a block that gently curves across an extended street frontage in Mount Waverley, in Melbourne’s south east. Dominated by two majestic old eucalyptus trees, the garden has been lovingly nurtured by owners Trevor and Kay De Jong for 24 years and is filled with many treasured plants.
SerpenTine is a whimsical, eco-conscious, nearly half-acre garden located in Rowville, in Melbourne’s outer south east. This large garden has a strong focus on sustainability with water tanks and solar panels, fruit and nut trees, a veggie garden, indigenous and native plants, and a pond, as well as water-wise salvias, grasses, a variety of potted succulents, and beautiful roses.
Ashgrove Iris Garden is a relaxed, pretty one acre country style garden with meandering pathways, plenty of garden seating and many “old fashioned” and unusual plants adding to its diversity.
Behind a cream picket fence and a lychgate draped with climbing roses, Claire’s cottage garden is filled with flowers and fragrance.
Christine’s Cottage Garden features over 80 roses, growing in garden beds, sprawling over arches and covering fences.
Fiddlestix is an amazing garden, full of surprises that will make you smile! Situated on an exposed rocky limestone hill with harsh growing conditions, the resourceful owner has added quirky collectables, found objects and bright mosaics to create interest and a touch of fun to the garden.
The inaugural New England Garden Trail, organised by the New England Garden Festival team, will travel across six country towns in the beautiful New England region in seven days, opening approximately 18 cold climate gardens to visitors.
The Millthorpe Garden Ramble is celebrating 20 Years! Ten village and nearby country gardens open 10am-4pm both days. The gardens will have stalls, workshops, art, music, floral displays and more.
Eungella is a young, two-hectare garden located on the outskirts of Mount Dandenong’s highest village, Olinda. It combines native plants and naturalistic water features against the dramatic backdrop of regrowth mountain ash on two sides and the National Rhododendron Gardens across the road.
