The Open Garden is advertised as ...
Huge English elm trees, thought to be the oldest in
Australia, shade and shelter the 1820s homestead at 2312 Cullerin Road, Gunning. A
true country garden, Collingwood features irises, roses, lavender, rock roses,
honesty and sage. A woodland area, its old trees underplanted with hundreds of
bulbs creates a vibrant spring display.
Two very old wisterias are draped across the verandah and a magnificent crab apple is surrounded by softly coloured hellebores. The garden features lovely stone walls, paths and arches dripping with fragrant plants. Lilacs of many hues are beautiful in spring and lily of the valley and English primrose, which hide beside the paths under the trees, put on a delightful show. Teas and light lunches will be available.
