Mayfield Garden is one of the largest privately owned cool climate gardens in the world and for the next three weekends you will have the chance to see it.

It is located within a 5000 acre working farm along the Mayfield Road near Oberon.

Initially, work on Mayfield Garden was quite modest in scale but as tends to happen with gardens, it grew...and grew...and grew. Still very much a work in progress, there is nonetheless a maze, an oak forest, a walled potager, an 80 metre cascade that tumbles down the hillside, extensive parterre gardens, an ampitheatre...you really have to see it to believe it.

Thirty-six acres have now been set aside next to the existing garden and we have embarked on a whole new phase of the garden’s evolution that will include a garden shop and nursery, a design centre, a children’s discovery centre and cafe.

After four years of construction the heart of this exciting new project is about to be revealed – a six acre water garden inspired by Longstock Park Water Garden in England. The water garden – with its winding paths, waterfalls, mass plantings and gold tipped obelisk – will be the centrepiece of future developments at Mayfield Garden and a major tourism drawcard for the region.

What makes the spring open weekends so special is that you will have the opportunity to wander through the entire garden which has rarely been opened in the past.

This wonderful garden will be open from 9am until 4:30pm on the 17th and 18th, the 24th and 25th of October, and the 31st of October and 1st of November.

Entry costs $20 per adult, cash only, and children under the age of 16 can enter free.

For the comfort of all visitors, please do not bring animals into the garden.

There are temporary toilet facilities on site, and bus and car parking is available.

Please wear comfortable walking shoes, and bring a hat and water. There are limited refreshments available.

For group bookings and more information please contact the Oberon Visitor Information Centre on 6329 8210 between 10am and 4pm daily.

Come and enjoy the Mayfield Garden journey.
