Last weekend, my Wife, Susan and I attend stayed up at Millthorpe, near Bathurst, NSW, Australia and, over two days, had the pleasure of experiencing ten beautiful gardens at the 19th Millthorpe Garden Ramble.

Even though we have been going up to Millthorpe (as a couple) since 1995, this was the first time we had attended this event. We have nearly always been to Millthorpe in the Autumn (Fall)/Winter-time.

Our host’s, Diane and David Dixon, went to school with my Wife and Diane herself has been nurturing a Cottage Garden on their 7 1/2 acres for just on 30 years. Diane has entered her garden in the event once before but wasn’t an entrant this time around. I’ll be doing a separate post on Diane’s garden this month.

The gardens range from small residential backyards to properties with many acres.

I’ve included some images below that depict the type of gardens that we saw. I’ve also taken a lot of reference photos for sketches and paintings.

Till next time!
