The Gardens

The gardens are open to the public for events throughout the year.
Tours of the garden during your stay at the cottage can be arranged by appointment.

Since 2008, many restoration works have been undertaken on the gardens of Bolobek. Most recently, the Robertsons have designed and planted a large picking and vegetable garden immediately adjacent to site of the original Syme vegetable garden.

Thousands of trees have been planted on the property, and a significant project involving the clean-up, fencing and planting out of waterways has been undertaken in conjunction with Melbourne Water.

In 2013, Brigid and Hugh were approached by the Mt Macedon and District Horticultural Society to hold the Garden Lover’s Fair, which is now known as the Bolobek Garden Fair. This is now an annual event held on the first weekend of October, with more than 50 stallholders selling everything from rare plants to garden tools and other garden-related items.
