Open Gardens Victoria – Cadella Park

Located in one of the oldest settled areas in the Macedon Ranges, Cadella Park is a private family home and working farm with a rich pioneering past. Open Gardens Victoria will open the historical property to the public for the first time to celebrate the inaugural Cadella Park Open Garden and Fair.

Cadella Park’s extensive park-like gardens, original circa 1845 stone homestead, and historic collection of farm buildings are set across eight acres with a backdrop of rolling pastures and views to Mount Macedon and Hanging Rock. The property is regarded as a significant nineteenth-century farm complex, with roots dating back to pastoral lease maps in 1839.

The main home, the original stone homestead, and a restored barn are among the historic outbuildings that owner Jo-Ann Beck says will be utilised for the opening.

“Prunella Events will provide a selection of garden party treats, a champagne bar served from the old dairy, and a fantastic pop-up cafe serving coffee and sweet treats in the barn. Both days will feature garden tours led by gardener and gardening communicator Simon Rickard, as well as plant stalls, local produce, art and craft, and live music,” says Jo-Ann.

Spend time relaxing with family and friends, wandering through Cadella Park’s lush grounds, wooden stables, towering hedges, corrugated iron water tanks and spectacular avenues of trees.
