Yarrabee Native Garden |
Yarrabee Native Garden is a private 5 acre garden located in lovely picturesque town of Lara.
Yarrabee is aboriginal for place of many gums.
Our garden is a mixture of Australian native and exotics, with dry sunny spots and shady spots.
The garden covers 5 acres or 2.5 hectares and encompass a wide range of habitats and plants spread around the spacious but easily-travelled grounds, 3 ponds, waterfall and a dam.
Located just 20 minutes from Geelong it is well worth a visit from anyone who has an interest in gardening.
Discover the covered orchard which has over 38 fruit trees and houses strawberry beds along with loganberry, blackberry, raspberries and Inca berries.
Water comes from our own bore which has a fairly high salt content and can only be used to water the ground. However we do have an irrigation system which we can change from town water to bore water when needed
On the property is a dam which is filled with natural run off water.
Lara is the driest area in this district. We normal only have 304-460mm (12+ inches) of rain per year.
Yarrabee is open other times by appointment only. Group bookings garden clubs and coaches are welcome
