Mayfield Garden Autumn Festival
Take in all the crisp Autumnal vibes at Australia’s largest privately-owned cool climate garden. Two gardens make up a total of 65 hectares, with The Hawkins’ Private Family Garden only open for visitors four times a year. This year, both gardens will open to the public in April offering a scintillating display of red, orange and yellow.
Pack a picnic or book a table at the Mayfield Cafe for delicious seasonal fare. Find your way through Australia’s largest English Box Hedge Maze or explore the Mayfield Amphitheatre.
Other striking areas of the gardens to explore include the Cascade and Temple, the Family Chapel, the Water Garden and the Stumpery. Adrenaline junkies can also take on the challenge of rowing across the glassy Mayfield Lake. It’s a fun time for all.
This time round, the gardens are open until the Anzac Day weekend so if you’re in the process of lining up plans for the long weekend, here’s one to consider.
