One of Mount Macedon’s heritage gardens has reopened its doors to the public.
Visitors are welcome to Tieve Tara until November 28, with guests able to explore the six-acres of lush green lawns and healthy spring flowers.
The garden also features mature trees, a natural creek and an array of winding pathways.
Isabella Le, whose parents purchased the property earlier this year, said the return of guests had been a welcome sight as the space had burst into life in recent weeks.
“The gardens themselves are very beautiful, everywhere you turn a different scene is captured,” Ms Le said.
“The main features include the two lakes and the free-roaming geese. We also have areas for children to play like Treasure Island. It’s a very big space, and it’s completely accessible to all people.”
‘Tieve Tara’ is a Celtic term, meaning ‘side of the hill’. The name was prescribed to the plot by George Gratham after he purchased it in 1907.
The original garden is estimated to have been laid out as early as the 1860s by esteemed landscapers Messers Taylor and Sangster, who also worked on Melbourne’s Government House.
