The Garden of St Erth is a secluded getaway not far from Daylesford and Ballarat. Each season has something to offer the visitor, including carpets of daffodils in spring, long flowering flower borders in summer and magnificent autumn garden colour.
Stroll around the Diggers Garden Shop and shop for a wide range of incredible edibles, hardy perennials and shrubs and stock up on seeds for the vegetable and flower garden. Relax over coffee in the café and stay on for lunch, afternoon tea, in the surrounds of the beautiful gardens and the Wombat State Forest.
Open every day from 10.00am to 4.00pm winter and 10.00am to 5.00pm Summer
12km up the road in Trentham, visit Red Beard Bakery - their loaves are made with organic flour, shaped by hand and baked in a woodfired oven, built in 1891 - one of only a handful of Scotch ovens still operating in Australia!
Stunning Trentham Falls is one of the longest single drop waterfalls in Victoria, plunging some 32 metres over ancient basalt columns. It's particularly impressive in winter, when rain creates the strongest flow.
