Leura Gardens Festival, Blue Mountains Spring Gardens

15 Craigend St. Courtesy Mr. Noel Roscoe The original home and grounds were established in 1919, and Noel Roscoe's family have lent their own flavour to this orchard inspired garden for more than 60 years. The abundant fruit trees and the low stone walls built by Sorensen give a delightful mountains feel to this garden.

The National Trust brings Australia's heritage alive with Everglades situated in the heart of Leura.

42 Woodford Rd. Courtesy The Fogarty Family The park-like Brabourne was named by the late Mary Fogarty, when she purchased the grounds in 1944, in memory of a village near her birthplace in England.

A work in progress, but with an established appearance.

Dead End House The planting of this magnificent garden was begun by the Cox family in the 1950's, but the design today is largely attributable to the present owners, Robert Brain and Neal Blewett

"Eloura",18-24 Sublime Point Road, courtesy Mrs. B Heuer was an original Festival garden created out of virgin bush by Dr. North, the founder of the Leura Gardens Festival. His aim was to create a low maintenance garden, combining both formal and informal areas. The garden features deciduous trees, conifers, rhododendrons, camellias, azaleas, and native vegetation.

A spectacular, layered garden presented for only the third time.
