Trees at their best
The southwest was nominated by the Qantas magazine as one of the top ten
places to see autumn colour.The
Festival of Country Gardens is a great opportunity to see a diversity of
country gardens and parks in the autumn when the trees change colour from green
to red, gold, orange and show their beauty for all to behold. The gardens are
from small country town gardens such as the quant and colourful Viet Aussie
Garden in Greenbushes, the Community Garden also in Greenbushes, to beautiful
country style large gardens such as the Terraces in Bridgetown (in photo below)
to The Golden Valley Tree Park in Balingup. A heritage listed 100 year old tree
park with rare and unusual trees from all over the world. The tree park also
has a guided walk on Sunday (details below).

There are diverse gardens within townships and larger gardens in country farming areas with a total of eleven gardens to choose from and only one weekend to see them! The following photos are from three gardens from the November 2018 Festival of Country Gardens. They are beautiful gardens that are loved by their owners and this passion is reflected in the care and beauty of the gardens.
