Your first stop is the wonderfully stocked Riddells Creek Nursery. Take some time to stroll through our mature tree area and select the perfect deciduous trees for your garden. They also have a gorgeous retail space with your favorite gardening books, hand-crafted tools, patio sets and lots more.

From Riddells Creek, head to the charming village of Woodend. Here you can explore two nurseries laden with plants, giftware, advice and essential gardening supplies.

The wonderful and intimate Woodend Nursery and The Gardener’s Path are located in the heart of town amongst a bevy of wonderful cafes.

After you’ve stocked up on plants, enjoy a coffee or picnic under the autumn leaves before embarking on a scenic drive to Spring Hill Nursery in Tylden.

Head towards Trentham East along scenic backroads, turning right at the historic Pig and Whistle Hotel which dates back to the 1860’s (you might want to stop by for a tipple on the way).

Continue up James Lane to Tylden, the home of Spring Hill Nursery, Garden & Cafe. The nursery covers two acres, with a stunning, established garden you can stroll in between browsing their extensive selection of plants.

Sit a while, smell the roses and enjoy coffee and delicious treats in their cafe, either al fresco or inside by the fire.

Wind your way back to the Calder Highway or drop into Kyneton for a browse. For those planning an overnight stay, extend your nursery and garden hopping journey to Mount Macedon’s Dicksonia Rare Plant Nursery and Forest Glade Open Gardens.
