Tea Gardens
10am to 4pm, 12th and 13th April 2025
Tea Gardens Homestead, dating back to the 1860s, is one of Canberra’s oldest residential homes, located on a peaceful half acre block, overlooking the 4th hole of Gungahlin Lakes Golf Club. Since 2021 the garden has been completely transformed from a steep sloping block suffering from drought and overgrown with periwinkle, to a beautiful blend of cottage, native, traditional and productive styles. It perfectly complements the homestead’s historic charm. ‘The Vineyard’ was established in July 2024. The front garden development has been ongoing since the property was purchased in 2020. They are highlights of this truly inspiring garden.
There will be a sausage sizzle for lunch and scones for afternoon tea, along with games for children.
Notes: The nearest public toilets are at Casey shopping centre, 1.9km away. There are a lot of stairs at the back section of the garden, but the garden can be viewed from the top.
NOTE: On Sunday the 13 April there will be a number of road closures in and around the City Centre and its tributary roads. This is due to the Canberra Marathon. Please find a map of the road closures and alternate routes here.
