The George Tindale Memorial Garden, only a one hour drive from Melbourne's city centre, is a unique collection of exotic plants set beneath a canopy of large mountain ash. It has become a popular destination for Melburnians and tourists alike. Things to Do * Explore the extensive system of paths as you view the many exotic plantings. * Have a picnic on the lawns. Heritage In 1958 George Tindale, a research scientist with the Victorian Department of Agriculture, purchased the property and began to develop the existing garden. With his wife he created the plantings that you can see in the garden today. Mrs Tindale bequeathed the garden to the Victorian Conservation Trust in memory of her husband in 1980. Parks Victoria commenced management of the garden in 1995 Vegetation The towering mountain ash provide a canopy for a variety of floral highlights throughout the year: Summer - liliums, fuchsias, hydrangeas, perennials. Autumn - cyclamen, nerines, lapageria, autumn foliage. Winter - camellias, luculia, rhododendrons, hellebores. Spring - magnolias, azaleas, camellias, cornus, spring bulbs. |
