The annual Autumn Garden Open Gardens and Plant Fair weekend returns. This year is a very special event as we will be opening the entire historic 'Oldbury Farm' estate as our open garden. Not only is there the historic garden surrounding the 1826 sandstone residence but in addition two large contemporary gardens, a 3ha arboretum and the historic farm with its many kilometres of Layed Hawthorn hedges and mature native and deciduous trees . The Plant Fair will be at the SHBG as usual.

Garden Guide

Oldbury Farm Estate consists of a number of neighbouring properties which have been amalgamated by the current owner into the estate which was part of the original 2000 acre grant to James Atkinson in 1820.
Each property has a distinctive character reflected in the buildings and gardens. These properties all form part of the 550 acre working farm running Angus cattle.

The Oldbury Farm Estate will open their gates to visitors in support of the Southern Highlands Botanic
Gardens on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

This has been flagged as the last opportunity to visit this historic property and gardens, including the historic garden at Oldbury, the modern garden at Oldbury Vale, the cottage garden at Oldbury Cottage, and the 8 acre arbor ...
