Wanawong is a spectacular hillside garden setting that is flanked by fields and bushland dropping steeply away to the east.
Its a well-designed garden that sits beautifully in the surrounding bush landscape. Janet laid out the garden in 1975 and still passionately gardens here. It’s a diverse garden of flowering shrubs and trees amid stately tree ferns and eucalypts. The cool climate allows Janet to grow azaleas and rhododendrons that are a riot of colour in October. Peonies and other perennial plants also thrive, with Janet germinating a lot of her border plants from seed.
There are well designed productive elements to the garden that are all caged to protect them from the abundant wildlife. Bower Birds frequently visit this garden.
Wanawong is located on the lands of the Eastern Maar people. Open Gardens Victoria wish to acknowledge the Traditional custodians of this land and we pay respect to their Elders, past, present and emerging.
