Description
Private Gardens of the Monaro includes two family run rural properties, the owners are passionate about their gardens and proud of their history and homesteads. The gardens are among the finest on the Monaro and have been held in the families for many generations. Some of Australia's most respected Architects and Landscapers have been involved in creating these homesteads and gardens including Prof. Leslie Wilkinson and Paul Bangay.
The Monaro region is in south east New South Wales, Australia. It extends from the Australian Capital Territory (Canberra) in the north to Victoria in the South. To the west it is bordered by the Snowy Mountains and to the east by the eastern coastal ranges. It's overriding feature is the naturally treeless undulating landscape dominated by extinct volcanoes interspersed with occasional timbered ridges. Unlike much of eastern Australia, the Monaro has never been cleared and retains much the same character it had when the first white settlers arrived nearly 200 years ago. Nestled into this landscape are the Private Gardens of the Monaro.
Access to the gardens is by appointment only and limited to only a few visits per year. They are rarely open to the general public making Private Gardens of the Monaro an opportunity for those that appreciate gardens, their history and their beauty to view them as part of a small exclusive group.
