When purchased in 2001, this 9-acre property was neglected farmland featuring blackberries and gorse. This enabled the owner and designer, who specialises in large scale country estates, to realise a creation largely undisturbed by space restrictions.

The overall design is a fusion of picturesque and formal design using circles to create intimate controlled garden spaces which punctuate the overall park-like atmosphere.

The plantings are structured in a way that create privately screened areas, avenues, boundary hedging and birch groves. These encase more intensive gardens such as the Blue Garden, Tapestry Garden, Iris Axis, Crescent Parterre and an extensive vegetable garden. These individual gardens are based around seasonal highlights and spring plantings include white wisteria, clematis, a range of perennials all complemented by artful planting of foliage.

This is a stunning private garden reflective of its creator’s stories, ambitions and dreams and there is an enveloping feeling of peace and tranquillity.

There will be two garden tours per day by the owner at 11:00am and 2:00pm.

Some of the proceeds from this opening will be donated to the local CFA.

Please note: There are no toilets onsite. However, the local Tylden Community Hall is nearby.

Verdicus is located on the lands of the Dja Dja Wurrung People. Open Gardens Victoria wish to acknowledge the Traditional custodians of this land and we pay respect to their Elders, past, present and emerging.
