Private Gardens – Map: D5

Many gardens in Macedon and Mount Macedon are opened to the public for the Australian Open Gardens Scheme and for local organisations.

Forest Glade Gardens

Forest Glade is one of Australia’s finest private gardens, and has existed for nearly one hundred years.  The magnificent landscaped garden covers fourteen acres (5.6ha) and has four distinct sections:

  • The large English section with its huge exotic trees and masses of colour
  • The delightful Japanese section complete with bonsai house
  • The beautiful woodland section displaying masses of shade-loving plants
  • The cool fern gully

The features of the garden include a stunning blue bell patch and an impressive daffodil lawn during spring; a topiary garden, two aviaries, a magnificent laburnum arch, a peony walk highlighted with climbing roses, as well as numerous pergolas, ponds, fountains and statues.

Forest Glade is open to the public on most days of the year.
