Covering historical and current development of the Southern Highlands commercial and private gardens, this is a rewarding and enjoyable experience.
Each of the screens features a different theme including early photos of Bundanoon Gullies, the botanical drawings of Louisa Atkinson, the Hordern Gardens of Bowral, Tulip Time and a number of local gardens featured in Highlife magazine over the years.
The cool climate of the area has inspired successive generations of garden lovers to create the splendid gardens and landscapes that give the Southern Highlands such a distinctive character.
