Glen - November 2019
My mum & I travelled from the Bellarine to The Garden of St.Erth over the Nov. long weekend. A magical, historic cottage and garden greeted us at the end of a windy road. Heirloom apple & pear varieties in the espaliered orchard were a highlight along with a thriving vegetable garden and beautiful bush & cottage areas. The cafe was welcome too after our drive. A delightful step back in time to a hidden sanctuary containing some rare and beautiful plants.
