These are the gardens that we had planned for 2021. Some new, some returning and all absolutely stunning. Unfortunately we can't open them for you this year, but have a browse at the gorgeous photos.
The Braes Heritage Garden Estate is adjacent to the Blue Mountains World Heritage National Park and lies between an urban environment and a semi-rural one, with views to the Southern Highlands. Its original land grants were allocated in 1882. Please allow at least 45 minutes to view this extensive garden.
This garden celebrates the climate of the Upper Blue Mountains with its four distinct seasons. We were lucky 11 years ago to take custody of an established garden which had plenty of time, money and effort put into it over the previous decades. We had our own views, of course, about what we wanted in our garden, and took the bones of the Knox garden to pare back and reshape.
We have two gardens open for the Festival - the Lady Fairfax Garden and the Margaret Stevens Garden.
Much like the resort itself, the Fairmont Resort gardens have seen significant rejuvenation over the past few years. The expansive garden area features many quiet sanctuaries accentuated by the three magnificent lakes.
The garden was created in the 1970s by Keith Knox, with “crazy paving” stone paths and walls being used to cut across a remarkably steep, east-facing site at the back of the property. The resulting vertical garden is simultaneously beautiful and challenging.
Everglades is the largest and most famous garden designed by Paul Sorensen, Australia's "Master Gardener".
