Visit the Garden of St Erth

The Garden of St Erth is a secluded getaway not far from Daylesford and Ballarat. Each season has something to offer the visitor, including carpets of daffodils in spring, long flowering flower borders in summer and magnificent autumn garden colour.

Stroll around the Diggers Garden Shop and shop for a wide range of incredible edibles, hardy perennials and shrubs and stock up on seeds for the vegetable and flower garden. Relax over coffee in the café and stay on for lunch, afternoon tea, in the surrounds of the beautiful gardens and the Wombat State Forest.

Due to the incline of the property, there is very limited access to the garden for wheelchairs and walking frames.

The Diggers Garden Shop is wheelchair accessible from the main carpark, and our staff would be more than happy to assist with plant selection from the nursery.
