Discover the Magic of Garden Beds Glamping at The Garden of St Erth

Born from a deep love for heirloom vegetables and sustainable gardening, our journey began with a simple purpose: to rescue the wonderful old varieties that were vanishing from mainstream seed lists, this vibrant, subversive gardening community is the legacy of Clive and Penny Blazey — a living expression of their commitment to preserving biodiversity, promoting organic growing, and celebrating a shared homegrown culture.

Tucked at the edge of the Wombat State Forest, just an hour from Melbourne and near Daylesford and Ballarat, The Garden of St Erth is a breathtaking cool-climate garden and today it welcomes gardeners, food lovers, and seekers of nature’s quiet beauty.

To celebrate our 40th year in 2018, we added a new way to experience the magic of this place: Garden Beds Glamping.

Now you can spend the night under the stars in one of six beautifully furnished bell tents, nestled between curated gardens and the forest edge. Each tent is carpeted, stylishly appointed for two, and paired with access to our modern shared amenities.

Whether you're escaping the city midweek, planning a romantic honeymoon, deciding on a group visit or craving a peaceful weekend immersed in nature, Garden Beds offers a rare opportunity to wake up inside a world-class garden.

Come stay, slow down, and reconnect — with nature, with real food, and with yourself.
