Attractions Dandenong Ranges / Yarra Valley

Gardens

Cloudehill Nursery and Carden Gardens
A must see garden made at the top of The Dandenong Ranges where a maze of stone walls and jewel like garden rooms are set within woodlands of magnificent and historic, cool climate trees.

Alfred Nicholas Gardens
The many linking paths through this garden take you beneath a canopy of the awesome mountain ash trees of the Dandenong Ranges. The garden was part of the historic Burnham Beeches Estate, home of Alfred Nicholas, developer of the Aspro formula. It is known for its extensive water features including waterfalls and an ornamental lake complete with boathouse.

National Rhododendron Gardens
The National Rhododendron Gardens are host to an unparalleled variety of brilliantly coloured blooms, mainly rhododendrons, azaleas, camellias, and daffodils. Of international reputation, these magnificent gardens attract 50,000 to 60,000 visitors annually to the Dandenong ranges.

Pirianda Garden
Designed to take advantage of the steep slopes, the 11 hectare terraced gardens of Pirianda are distinctive for their combination of botanically important trees, shrubs and perennials with an overstorey of large blackwoods and mountain ash towering over the natural fern gullies of the Dandenong Ranges. The garden is particularly beautiful in autumn when the trees change colour to the many hues of orange, red and yellow.

Hancocks Daffodil Garden
Take the unique opportunity to select and order your favourite varieties for planting next Autumn. There is no better way to create your own Magical Spring Garden than choosing from the flowers themselves! It's easy!
