Country Gardens
1.BOGGY CREEK – LYNDON HALE AND AMANDA SAMPSON
281 Break O’Day Road, Glenburn 3717
A garden once designed by Robert Boyle, Boggy Creek is built on the site of a fish farm and the ponds have been opened up to create two large dams. The property was severely affected in the 2006 and 2009 fires which led to planting deciduous trees and plants to attract native birds and the building of an impressive rockery which doubles as an amphitheater.
2. THE PINES – SANDRA AND JEFF CUNNINGHAM
5381 Melba Hwy, Yea 3717
An original pine plantation backs this property featuring established native and exotic trees. There’s a formal planting of roses, camelias and spring bulbs and just follow the creek which meanders through the property to experience everything it has to offer. Beside the house, the garden opens out to an ornamental lake surrounded by willows and golden ash. The lake blooms in Spring and Summer with a mass of water lilies.
3. GLENGOWRIE – IAN AND PAT SICHLAU
17 Sichlau Road, Yea
This beautiful country garden had its origins in 1924 and still remains in the family today with Ian and Pat. Matured deciduous trees and the ornamental dam, Lake Inferior, are stunning features whilst providing cooling summer shade and a restful outlook. Meandering paths wind through this pretty garden to the gazebo and around the lake wall. Roses are a feature of the garden at this time of the year.
Yea Rotary will also have their BBQ on site here for a tasty bite to eat.
