Gardens

Mount Wilson is a village famous for its magnificent cool climate exotic private gardens. Many gardens are open all year round; Spring and Autumn are the most popular seasons when the gardens are at their most colourful. The best strategy for any visitor is to get out of the car and start walking.

The experience of the village is the experience of its gardens, its avenues of trees, its lookouts and its walking trails and picnic areas. For most people, the best time to visit Mount Wilson is either Spring or Autumn. At these times, many of the locals open their gardens to the public - some of which are over 120 years old.

All gardens are privately owned and so a per person entry fee will be charged. The amount is the decision of the property owner.

Of particular note are Church Lane, Queen's Avenue, The Avenue and Cathedral Reserve with their rows of plane trees, limes, elms, beeches, liquidambars and pink cherries.

Gardens open to the public in Mount Wilson include Yengo Sculpture Gardens (featuring Australia's first endangered wildlife reserve), Nooroo (including a world famous wisteria collection), Breenhold, Sefton Cottage, Windyridge, Bebeah and Merry Garth.  All the other gardens in the village are private property and should not be entered except by invitation.

Bring a picnic and stroll through these beautiful gardens.

Dogs are allowed in the Mt Wilson Village and at Cathedral Reserve, however dogs are not allowed in the National Park adjacent to the reserve and village. 

Some gardens in the Mt Wilson village accept dogs on a leash. You will need to check with the garden owner whether they permit dogs, many do.
