Open Gardens Victoria - Bickleigh Vale Village (SOLD OUT)
We are thrilled to be opening eight gardens in Bickleigh Vale Village in Mooroolbark on October 12 and 13, in partnership with the Friends of Edna Walling at Bickleigh Vale Village. In the 1920s Edna Walling created an enchanted village for herself and her friends at Bickleigh Vale, and this special quality continues to influence succeeding owners as they work to keep the vision of her achievement alive for future generations.
As we celebrate the legacy of Edna Walling’s century of influence, we invite you to visit Badgers Wood, Devon Cottage, Downderry, Lynton Lee, Mistover, Sonningfield, The Barn and Whistlewood, showcasing how past and present have been melded together in this unique community.
Entry to Bickleigh Vale Village will be via timed-entry tickets. Please select your preferred timeslot from the options available. You will receive an email closer to the opening date with a link to the garden notes for this opening.
