HISTORICAL GUIDED GARDEN TOURS:

This is a unique opportunity for you to experience a personalised guided walking tour of one of Australia’s finest country gardens along with other guests. For the Tour to be undertaken, a minimum number of 10 people will be required. Therefore, we cannot guarantee your booking until the minimum number of visitors has been reached. Refunds will be available if numbers are not reached.

The cost for Historical Garden Tour is $20 per person. This includes:

Access to Glenrock Gardens
A personalised guided walking tour throughout the gardens with one of the owners which lasts approximately 1.5 - 2 hours, your entire visit will likely last approximately 3-4 hours with hamper.
A golf buggy, which can access most areas of the garden, is available for those less mobile in the group. This would have to be arranged and completed separately from the walking tour.
A nursery filled with hard-to-find, old-fashioned, perennials and shrubs (you can see the plants insitu in the gardens as well). Leave ample time to wander through the nursery where you can purchase your plants of choice.
A backup wet weather meeting location overlooking the gardens
