I had never been to these gardens before! Despite travelling past the gate many times, and having once worked at the Botanic Gardens at Sydney, I never had the opportunity to visit this more alpine garden until now.
My good friends, John and Chuin Nee invited me to john them for a photographic trip to the Gardens. Chuin Nee’s parents were in town and they joined us (and they were very patient with our photographic pursuits)
These gardens are really beautiful. Well worth a visit. Particularly during Autumn. There was a great display of colour. Not only Autumn leaves – but plenty of flowers were out. Particularly some attractive proteas.
Another highlight was number of carnivorous plants on display. Venus Flytraps, Pitcher Plants, Sundews etc.
There is also a very good Gondwana Garden section there.
After our visit, we enjoyed some nice views at the nearby Walls Lookout. This provides amazing views into the Grose Valley.
