National Parks and Reserves

The George Tindale Memorial Garden contains a number of plants rarely found in cultivation, which are thriving in the acidic soils, cool temperate climate and shaded conditions found in the Dandenong Ranges. Extensive collections of magnolias, rhododendrons, camellias, azaleas and hydrangeas will delight garden enthusiasts.

The gardens offer something new with each season – a myriad of flowers in spring; hydrangeas and lilliums in summer; a canopy of gold, red, orange and burgundy in Autumn and the flowers of the Lenten Rose or Hellebore beneath flowering shrubs in winter.

Opening hours: George Tindale Memorial Garden is open 10:00am to 5:00pm every day except Christmas Day, days of Catastrophic Fire Danger Rating, Severe Weather events and major works. Check current conditions on the day of your planned visit to confirm it is open.

George Tindale Memorial Gardens is part of an Aboriginal cultural landscape in the traditional Country of the Wurundjeri People.
