Take a trip down the rabbit hole this March as the historic Bolobek Garden opens to the public for a performance of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.
Located at the base of Mount Macedon, the heritage-listed Bolobek garden will welcome visitors and performers from the Australian Contemporary Opera Co production for the event, which will be held on Saturday, March 12.
Established over a century ago, Bolobek includes a diverse array of features, from a walled rose garden and lilac hedges, to woodland areas with mature shrubs and oaks.
Speaking with Star Weekly in 2021, Garden owner Brigid Robertson said there was something for everyone in the eclectic space.
“[Various flowers in the garden including dahlias, roses, hydrangeas and rhubarb have won prizes at the Mt Macedon Horticultural Society autumn show over the last few years and the Kyneton Horticultural Spring show in 2019.”
Tickets are $77 for adults, $55 for concession holders and $27.50 for children 17 and under.
Attendees can also enjoy Hesket Estate wines, locally assembled picnic boces and tea and coffee inside the garden.
All proceeds from the event will go toward Open Gardens Victoria, a not-for-profit organisation that aims to encourage people to embrace gardening.
