Designed to take advantage of the steep slopes, the 11 hectare terraced gardens of Pirianda are distinctive for their combination of botanically important trees, shrubs and perennials with an overstorey of large blackwoods and mountain ash towering over the natural fern gullies. The garden is particularly beautiful in autumn when the trees change colour to the many hues of orange, red and yellow.
Flora - Designed as a low maintenance garden, Pirianda is distinctive for its combination of maturing exotics, an intact native fern gully, large Blackwoods and Mountain Ash, the many varieties of rhododendron, azalea, magnolia and camellia and hundreds of other flowering plants. The gardens are important botanically and many of their trees are rare in Australia and include several unusual specimens of conifers and a variety of maples.
