The Gardens

'Bringalbit' nestles in a gentle fold of landscape just below a high point in the rolling granite hills inland from the Great Dividing Range and some 30kms NNW of Mt. Macedon, Victoria.

The climate is harsh with hot, dry summers, cold wet winters of frequent cracking frosts, occasional snowfalls and a constant strong southerly wind.

Surrounded by farmland, this secluded 4 ha (10 acre garden has its roots literally in the 19th century, so that first and lasting impressions are of scale, maturity and space.  The extensive 19th century stone house sits well in its surroundings as if it grew naturally from the earth.

Quarried on the property, lichen-covered granite and mellow honey-coloured stone has also been used in garden walls, steps, terracing, creek fords, and Lake Spillway.
The rich heritage of mature conifers and oaks in a n English park-like setting, complete with lake, forms a tranquil backdrop for the more recent and colourful plantings carefully carried out to scale.

A stunning crab-apple walk rises from a 50 metre perennial double border where gentle shades of mauve, white and pink spring blooms magically give way to the summer blazing white and blue agapanthus, lemon evening primrose and red hot pokers.

A sun-loving area of garden features many silver-foliaged Mediterranean plants that provide on-going definition to a nearby 60 metre Quince Walk that delights in spring and autumn.
