October 24 & 25, 2026
10am – 4pm Both Days
Experience life in full bloom…
Escape to a world of colour and inspiration! Explore four incredibly diverse acreage gardens, each with its own distinct, breath-taking personality & views. Spend the weekend exploring the four stunning privately owned acreage gardens of Highfields, Hartvale, Wild Meadows and Gory’u Japanese Gardens – all individually curated with their own unique charm.
Beyond the blooms, you’ll find plant stalls and artisan stalls featuring basket weaving, fresh flowers and garden sculpture all whilst enjoying fresh country air and spectacular mountain and valley views. Delicious morning and afternoon teas are also on offer and picnics are more than welcome. There are sausage sizzles available, but if your taste runs more to cafe style food, check out our local favourite the Postmistress Cafe in the historic Hartley village. The gardens are all located within a five to ten minute drive from each other. Whether you’re a hard-core green thumb or just love the beauty of large country gardens, there’s something here to spark the imagination & feed the soul.
