HARTLEY VALLEY GARDEN TRAIL AND PLANT FAIR
Usually takes place in the last weekend of October, but please stay tuned for dates.
Five fabulous and colourful gardens all located in the beautiful Hartley Valley
The brainchild of Horticulturist, ...
Hartvale is nestled under Mount York with stunning cliff face views to the East and gorgeous views over the valley to Mount Clarence to the North. It is a constantly changing view due to cloud formations and the various seasons.
These gardens are best from October through to late April. Poppies - that reappear like friends every year- combine with lavender, pink opium poppies and irises. Autumn is a beautifully colourful time when Dahlias, penstemons and Salvias take centre stage.
Nestled in the garden is the art studio where artworks by Jennifer Edwards are often for sale along with cards and prints.

The hothouse is used to grow broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower in Winter, tomatoes in Spring and Summer, and to raise the seeds for the Potager garden (zuccinni, cucumbers, corn and tomatoes) for Spring planting.
