Travel Photos of the Week: Alowyn Gardens, Yarra Glen

Melbourne dished up the most perfect weather last weekend to spend outdoors. I’ve had this local tourism award winner marked to visit for some time. So it made perfect sense to pick-up the oldies for an outing to Alowyn Gardens. The gardens are set within a layout of varying garden rooms across 7 acres. The garden is designed along strong symmetrical lines that become blurred by the softness of the space and the grace of the trees.

There are 5 clearly defined areas within the gardens, a perennial border, a silver birch forest, an edible garden, a formal parterre garden and through all of this runs a wisteria and rose covered arbour walk of about 100m. There is also a newer French garden which will be a picture during March when the sunflower bed is flowering.

You can also find Alowyn Gardens on Facebook.
