Victoria in Bloom: Where to see flowers blooming this spring!

September 19, 2017 By StrawberrY Gal - Travel News Leave a Comment

With the arrival of spring, Victoria’s gardens, parks, paddocks and pastures burst to life with seasonal blooms flowering in the golden sunshine. From visiting botanic gardens within Melbourne to heading further afield on a wildflower viewing road trip, springtime is the right time to visit Victoria.



Tesselaar Tulip Festival
The Tesselaar Tulip Festival (14 September – 10 October 2017) is a colourful celebration of tulip growing. Visitors can witness the spectacle of almost a million tulips spread out over 25 acres of farmland at this popular event, located 60 minutes from Melbourne. A rotating list of food, wine, entertainment and activities ensures all ages are taken care of, with Over the Rainbow week seeing twice daily performances of the Wizard of Oz and Dutch Weekend celebrating the farm’s European heritage with traditional Dutch food, dance and costume.

Lavandula Swiss Italian Farm
Located in Spa Country just ten minutes north of Daylesford, Lavandula Swiss Italian Farm is a rustic property home to European-style gardens that come to life in spring. For a $4 entry fee guests can wander the grounds of the property, admiring the 1850s stone buildings and romantic gardens that have been carefully curated for generations. While the lavender may not be in full bloom until summer, spring is still a good time to visit, with the La Primavera Festival (22 October 2017) featuring parades, song, dance and workshops. With the onsite café providing everything from lavender scones with jam and cream to grazing platters overflowing with olives, cheese and cured meats, Lavandula is ripe for a weekend getaway.

Cruden Farm
Holding open days once a month throughout the warmer weather, Langwarrin’s Cruden Farm has been in the Murdoch Family for generations. The pride and joy of Dame Elisabeth Murdoch, these peaceful country gardens set on a 133 acre property are especially beautiful in spring when magnolias, azaleas, roses and wisteria are in bloom. During open days guests can ramble around the fragrant gardens independently or on a guided tour – either way the peaceful ornamental lakes, pastoral paddocks and old stables provide a slice of serenity only 50km from Melbourne city.

Alfred Nicholas Memorial Gardens
Open every day except Christmas Day, Sherbrooke’s Alfred Nicholas Memorial Gardens provide an idyllic place for a walk, picnic or afternoon of contemplation. Rhododendrons, azaleas, camellias and kalmias are all in bloom during springtime, with linking paths providing connections to ornamental lakes and water features. Native birdlife is abundant all throughout this part of the Dandenong Ranges, with colourful rosellas and king parrots easily spotted in the canopy.

Rosalind Park
Located on the edge of Bendigo’s historic city centre, sprawling Rosalind Park offers 60 acres of green space for locals and visitors to meander. Lush lawns, towering gums and manicured gardens provide the ideal backdrop for dog walking, picnicking and lazy afternoons of book reading in the sunshine. Springtime floral displays can be found in the conservatory and impressive tulip garden, with thousands of bulbs planted by local horticulturalists in autumn for guests to view and enjoy in spring.

Ballarat Botanical Gardens
An easy drive or train ride from Melbourne, the Ballarat Botanical Gardens was established in the mid-1800s and has grown to include one of the world’s most impressive begonia collections. Enjoying prime position right on Lake Wendouree, Ballarat Botanical Gardens is visited by resident native birds all year round. Visitors can wander the impressive grounds to find the blooming azalea and camellia gardens and visit the conservatory where spring bulbs bloom during spring.

Royal Botanic Gardens, Melbourne
Home to more than 8500 plant species from all over the world, this easily-accessible inner city sanctuary provides locals and visitors with a spot to relax, exercise, picnic and play. Spring is an exceptionally good time to visit the Royal Botanic Gardens with warmer weather encouraging new plant growth and showing the impressive rose collection in its best light. Whether going on a free Spring Discovery guided tour of the gardens, heading off on a romantic punt ride on the ornamental lake or enjoying high tea with a view of the surrounding gardens and lawns, the Royal Botanic Gardens is a hotspot for garden enthusiasts during spring.

Royal Botanic Gardens, Cranbourne
An often overlooked branch of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Cranbourne Gardens is home to many species of Australian wildflowers including native daisies and lilies. A 50 minute drive from the city centre, Cranbourne Gardens is a good spot for people of all ages and life stages to see wildflowers at their springtime best. The 3.5km Possum Gully Wildflower Walk is a good way for fit and able visitors to view native wildflowers in bloom, while the Garden Explorer open air vehicle offers the chance to see more without getting too tired.
