2026 Gardens
Garden 1. Bromhall House
Once acreage, this formal garden now features expansive lawns, repeated plantings and sculptural form by way of pots, spherical and equestrian sculptures and sandstone walls that organise around a main residence.
Designed with sight lines from the house to its garden and stables in mind, discover the sunken sitting gardens hidden from view, an espalier fruit wall and potted courtyard garden.
Garden 2.
Rustic charm on acreage describes Garden 2, an expansive country garden that has been designed and made by hand.
Virtually off grid, the garden spans flower garden, orchard, large scale vegetable patch, rose parterre labyrinth, hand built structures and paddocks.
A colourful and producing garden, the type of tranquillity only space affords.
Garden 3. Picardy
‘Picardy’ Garden 3, is a creative town garden once part of the 10 acre dairy farm occupying Ferndale Road. Now the artistic creation of its current owners, it curves around its residence.
Handmade paths and handwoven branch fences define soft garden beds, a backyard orchard, vegetable garden and chicken coup.
Mature trees feature throughout surround by a bay hedge, espalier fig tree and Greek inspired north facing plantings of lemons, olives, yuzu and lavender. A fluid garden where form follows function, let its creativity inspire you.
Garden 4.
Garden 4, is a stylish town garden designed by its current owners. From a weeping cherry surrounded by hydrangeas, hellebores and roses in the front, to a terraced lawn with citrus, apples, olives and herbs in the rear, it blends intimate spaces with structure.
Walk the paths along handmade stonewalls to the rear terrace and large fire pit, a must see.
Garden 5. Holly Cottage
Truly a garden for kids of all ages. Garden 5 is an expression of family summed up in plantings, design and built form. Once the neglected plot attached to a rundown heritage listed building, it now balances a permaculture cottage-garden philosophy.
The garden’s mix of perennials, edibles, fruit trees and pollinators is playful amongst established trees, textural pathways, brick edging, stone circle paving and creative nooks. Imagination just spills over.
Enjoy a sense of play as you discover the ninja warrior course, fire pit, art studio, vegetable gardens and curb side edibles.
Garden 6.
Garden 6 is a productive, multigenerational garden that was featured in the first ever Ramble in 1996. Set to turn 90 years old next year, its garden owner now turns homegrown fruit into preserves and flowers into bouquets which she sells at Bundanoon's Good Yarn shop.
The garden’s design goal is pragmatic; to be both decorative and enable supply. It is designed to keep flowers blooming each week and fruit sequentially year round. Visit the large Seville and navel orange trees, the cherries, apples, fig, finger lime, berries, grapes and working vegetable beds home to leeks, garlic, strawberries, birds and pollinators.
Garden 7. Glen Mist
Garden 7, is a bountiful cottage garden. It blooms full with flowers, trees, ferns, structure and height. Packed pretty with detail, hidden garden paths will take you past aged fruit trees, cottage garden borders, a covered vegetable garden, ornamental trees and a fern walk towards a camellia and azalea filled front garden.
Anywhere there is a space, there’s an opportunity. Enjoy rambling through this garden where there’s always something in flower.
Garden 8.
Garden 8 originally built around the 1930s is a fragrant older garden that feels like a forest clearing.
Plantings, shrubberies and feature trees are scattered around irregular lawn areas. Natives and exotic species blend together while mature old trees and hedges along the driveway and boundary reinforce a sense of privacy.
And at the heart of this garden is a large pond which plays a significant role in establishing the garden’s microclimates. Recent additions that enrich the original plantings bring seasonal interest and colour to this garden.
Listen to the birdsong, frogs and pollinators that bring life to this garden.
