Forest Glade is a historic private garden that is acknowledged as one of the most beautiful in Australia being almost 100 years old.

It embraces a mixture of landscaping styles taking inspiration from English, Italian and woodland traditions.

Located on the southern slopes of Mount Macedon in Victoria, Australia, this magnificently landscaped garden covers fourteen acres (5.6 ha) and has four distinct themes:

• The large English section with its huge exotic trees

• The delightful Japanese section complete with bonsai house

• The beautiful woodland area displaying masses of shade-loving plants

• The cool fern gully

There are no bad times to visit Forest Glade Gardens - in autumn the various maples are a riot of colour, while in spring the rhododendrons, azaleas and peonies are a sight to see. Both summer and winter bring their own very special treats for garden lovers. Anyone is welcome at Forest Glade Gardens from individuals to families to larger tour groups.

Forest Glade is open to the public 7 days a week from 10.00am. Last entry 4:30pm. Admission is $15 per person, or you can book a combined tour of the garden and the Stokes Collection for $35 per adult.

The Autumn Festival in April of 2025, saw hundreds of visitors visit and the shuttle bus from Honour Avenue, Macedon was a huge hit. Thankyou to everyone who came along. We will announce the details for Autumn of 2026 in February of 2026.
