Alowyn Gardens is a delightful destination to visit during the autumn season. The weather is usually warm and pleasant, providing a beautiful backdrop for the autumnal hues of the trees and the blooming flowers, such as dahlias, amaranth, roses, catmint, salvias, sedums, and other perennials.
The gardens have expanded recently, offering new areas to explore. The Photinia robusta labyrinth is a fun challenge for children to navigate. The French Garden is thriving, with lavender fields and verdant lawns perfect for picnics under the trees. Only assistance dogs please.
One of the newest additions is the Zen Garden and Zen House, which provides a peaceful retreat with its serene pond, maple plantings, miniature pine trees, black and green mondo grass, granite rocks, and an Escallonia hedge.
The pumpkin harvest is bountiful this year, and the Display Shed showcases a wide variety of pumpkins, including some unique and uncommon varieties. The multicoloured glass gem corn crop is also interwoven among the pumpkins, adding to the visual spectacle.
The vegetable gardens have been enriched with compost and horse manure and planted with winter brassicas, sweet peas, onions, and garlic for a spring harvest. The nursery has expanded to include a Succulent Room, an Indoor Plant Room, and a vast collection of beautiful pots in different sizes.
The café is a great spot to relax and recharge, serving a range of tasty food, including hot food, sandwiches, cakes, and specialty coffee.
Alowyn Gardens is an idyllic place to spend a day exploring and soaking up the stunning autumnal beauty.
