Open Gardens Victoria: Lewisham

An exclusive open garden experience for one weekend only in the beautiful village of Macedon.
305 Mount Macedon Road, Macedon VIC 3440, Australia

Lewisham provides a wonderful welcome to spring! The house and garden are a total concept in the romantic image of Victorian Gothic.

Wander through this expansive 2.3-hectare garden and enjoy the abundance of blossoms – including weeping cherries, crabapples, camellias, azaleas – mature trees, many wearing their soft emerging foliage, and an abundance of bulbs.

Stylish bridges, which span the lakes and ponds, link the wide lawns which contain hedged garden beds, pergolas, arches, and various forms of garden art. A gazebo sits amongst various statues and urns.

Stroll along the meandering paths past the lakes, ponds and streams filled with bird life and flagged with Water Iris and other complementary plantings.

Enjoy the ducks, geese and guinea fowl which freely roam the property.

Lewisham is a great place to sit, wonder and admire the beauty of nature.

This garden is opening in conjunction with The Garden Lovers’ Fair hosted by The Mount Macedon and District Horticultural Society. This will be held at Bolobek – 370 Mt. Macedon Road Macedon 3440. Buses will depart from the Bolobek carpark every 30 minutes to take visitors to this opening with the last bus leaving at 2.30pm.
