Como Gardens

The weather was perfect and it was open day at Como Gardens at The Patch, so we headed up.  This privately-owned property houses historic gardens, a magnificent collection of vintage cars and a lot more.

The collection of vintage cars is said to be Australia's finest private collection of antique cars and auto memorabilia, and the garden has many bulbs, azaleas, magnolias and camellias.  It hosts two collections of plants, magnolia and prunus, which are registered with the Garden Plant Conservation Association.  In addition to a lake and a ride-on railway, there are wetlands, a forest walk, a stream (apparently containing platypus, but we didn't see any) and much more.



The funds raised from open days are all donated to the SES and St John's Ambulance.
