Events at Greenhaugh

After 49 incredible years, Greenhaugh Gardens begins a beautiful new chapter.

 

Created with passion, vision, and love by Lynne, alongside the dedication of Janet and Colin, Greenhaugh has become a place filled with beauty, celebration, and treasured memories for so many people over the years.

 

We feel incredibly honoured to become the new caretakers of this special property and are committed to continuing Lynne’s legacy while bringing new life and experiences to the gardens.

 

We are Ben and Jo, and along with our family, are excited to welcome you to Events at Greenhaugh — from music in the garden and high teas to cooking classes, workshops, and special celebrations.

 

Thank you, Lynne, for trusting us with something so magical. We cannot wait to share what’s ahead.

 

 

The gardens have been developed over the past 45 years and surround a colonial homestead built in 1874. Mature trees give the two-hectare property its bones, while ponds and naturalised plantings add whimsy. On one side of the garden box-hedges rein in the Austin and old roses which with perennials and self-seeding annuals are the backdrop of a central French fountain. A pergola, clad with wisteria, rambling roses and clematis leads through a tapestry of bearded iris and from there the garden visitor is naturally led from one vista to another. The 'creek bed', Mediterranean gardens, a woody grove and a bank of vibrant cannas. Everywhere you go you will find irises- the garden holds the heritage collection of Ron Busch's Irwell irises- a legacy continued. Greenhaugh begs for repeat visits, late winter puts on a show of snowdrops while spring bursts open with daffodils, hellebores, primula, crocus, and bluebells. Summer is when the hot colours shout out and Autumn is rich and russet.
