Windyridge Garden Mount Wilson
4.6
313 reviewsAbout
Windyridge Gardens at Mount Wilson dates from 1877, with the first planted tree, a Swiss Christmas Tree (Abies amabilis) in August 1945. Now the garden includes Cedrus deodara, copper beech, pin oaks, maples, ginkos, azaleas, rhododendrons, dogwoods and nyssas.
During Easter 1995, Rodger and Wai Davidson, of Davidson's Nurseries at Galston, in Sydney, purchased Windyridge to accommodate their expanding collection of cold climate plants. Work commenced under Wai's supervision to transform Windyridge into a grand garden. After tree maintenance work, Landscape Architect Gordon Sykes was retained to terrace and plant a vast grassy slope and give substance to the new owners' vision.
Mount Wilson is just two hours northwest of Sydney, 3,000 feet (1050 metres) above sea level and ringed by cool green rainforests.

A beautiful private garden located 2–3 hours from Sydney in the Blue Mountains, featuring waterfalls, rainforest areas, formal European-style sections, outdoor art, and themed gardens. Best visited in spring and autumn for vibrant colours. Driving is recommended, though public transport is possible. It’s a popular spot, so arrive early. Expect plenty of walking on uneven, sometimes shaded terrain—wear comfortable shoes and sun protection. Entry fees apply, with street parking outside and space for picnics. Great for photography, and the friendly owner offers complimentary tea, coffee, and biscuits.

It is a lovely private garden on a mostly sloping landscape. It's about 2 to 3 hours drive from Sydney in the Blue Mountains area. Some of the garden features include, waterfall and rainforest, formal European style garden, entertainment lawn, various outdoor artworks such as bronze statues and ceramics, white and blue gardens. You can take public transport to get here but driving is best. In spring and autumn it has magic colours. The owner is friendly and always willing assist. Popular place, need to go early to avoid the heat. Fair bit of walking around, some under shade. Uneven terrain in places. Wear comfy shoes, take water, wear hat, sunscreen. Entry fees apply. Lovely place for picnic. Street parking is outside property. Great place for photography. Free tea and coffee, biscuits offered.

I had a great time visiting this garden. Unfortunately it was a rainy day, but that didn’t take away from the beauty of the place at all. If you’re planning which gardens to visit, I would definitely recommend this one. It’s a bit quieter than some of the others on the main road, which makes it very relaxing. The host is very friendly and knowledgeable, and made us feel really welcome. There was complimentary tea, coffee and biscuits, and he even had multiple umbrellas available for visitors like us who didn’t come prepared — which was very appreciated! The garden itself has some beautiful water features and thoughtfully arranged plants. The host also had a few native plants for sale at great prices, so we ended up buying one to take home. We’ll definitely be back next year on a nice sunny day.
