The 2017 Leura Gardens Festival featured 11 beautiful Upper Blue Mountains spring gardens, including two new to the festival.
The 2017 gardens are shown below and whilst we can't promise all the same gardens will be in the Festival in 2018, what we can say is that they will all be magnificent and will continue to delight visitors.
We feel very privileged to be able to own Redleaf. It is definitely a labour of love bringing this very established property and house back to life. The house is over 100 years old and has always been painted black. We have continued the tradition of being the Black house on Blackheath St.
We have two gardens open for the Festival - the Lady Fairfax Garden and the Margaret Stevens Garden.
The planting of this magnificent garden was begun by the Cox family in the 1950's, but the design today is largely attributable to the present owners, Robert Brain and Neal Blewett. This is a natural garden, shaded by mature trees, with rooms and corners and few, if any, traditional beds.
Much like the resort itself, the Fairmont Resort gardens have seen significant rejuvenation over the past few years. The expansive garden area features many quiet sanctuaries accentuated by the three magnificent lakes.
Everglades is the largest and most famous garden designed by Paul Sorensen, Australia's "Master Gardener".
