Visitor Comments

I visited Merribee last Wednesday, great to find a garden open mid-week, and what a delightful garden, quirky, formal, relaxing, so many different plantings, roses, lavender, hydrangeas and especially loved sitting under a collection of white crepe myrtles, sitting on lovely white mismatched tables and chairs, having lunch, which I ordered from the vintage caravan. Definitely will make a return visit, as I was told by the very informative gardener that the camellias put on an amazing show later and there are plans to further develop the garden in the future.
