Here in Victoria there is a long tradition of members of the public visiting private gardens that have been opened on specific days and times of the year to best showcase their botanical and horticultural features.

Mount Mitchell has over 10 acres of manicured gardens comprising formal rose gardens, impressive working kitchen gardens, parkland and an extensive orchard featuring a range of fruit trees.

There is also an exceptional range of trees of interest. Avenues of elms line both the entrance to the homestead along the driveway and various fence lines around property. Poplars, plane trees and cypress, hawthorn and viburnum hedges structure the garden into green rooms.

Expansive lawns, winding paths, arched hedgerows and parterre gardens create much interest and you can spend hours taking all of it in.

A beautifully positioned lake offers a splendid vista to the west with the Pyrenees Mountains rising majestically in the background.

There is no bad time of the year to visit the historic gardens of Mount Mitchell.
