Gardens and Nurseries

The gardener does not love to talk, he makes me keep the gravel walk; and when he puts his tools away, he locks the door and takes the key … Robert Louis Stevenson.

WILDWOOD GARDEN 

92 Powells Road, BILPIN NSW 2758

Garden lovers are invited to visit this magnificent Bilpin garden. Lovingly crafted over 38 years by Wayne and Sue Tapping, the garden presents a glorious collection of cool climate plants in a natural woodland setting.

The garden features a cherry walk in peak flower in mid September, a fragrant daphne hedge and a magnificent waterfall with ponds as well as a large lake. There are sweeping views across the garden, gravel paths and well-placed sculptures including a magnificent sandstone sofa. The bird life is abundant and the mountain air is fresh and exhilarating. There is something in bloom to enjoy through out the year in this garden that features many rare and unusual plants. Autumn is colourful as our deciduous trees and shrubs change from green to red, orange and yellow. As winter draws to an end and spring arrives so does the flower colour as trees, shrubs, climbers, bulbs and perennials burst into bloom. Our camellias are beautiful right through late winter and spring as are the blossom trees.

OPEN IN SPRING AND AUTUMN ONLY – including cafe and gift shop.
