Alowyn Gardens Talk & Garden Walk Alowyn gardens is an award winning landscaped garden spanning 7 acres. The gardens are known for their 9 different distinct styles as you wander through the carefully designed space. Enjoy the many view lines that have been designed to delight as you view the gardens from different vantage points. Alowyn Gardens has been a labour of love for the last 25 years. John, a landscaper with over 40 years experience, and Prue, a qualified horticulturalist, bought the plot of land in 1997 when it was just a neglected trotting farm, with only a few trees on the property. Together with their dedicated staff, they have built the spectacular ‘Alowyn Gardens’. Alowyn also boasts the Wisteria Cafe and a fully stocked extensive nursery.
