Cocooned in the wombat State Forest ,the Garden of St Erth features an extraordinary range of plants from around the world.Thousands of naturalized daffodils carpet the lawns in September and through the summer months the herbaceous border features Digger's perennials and grasses.The garden culminates in an extravagant display in March for our Autumn Festival .May marks the end of our gardening year with a blaze of Autumn- coloured trees and late perennials.The bush garden plays a host to a variety of native birds, as well as being a place of restful contemplation. The natural spring of Koban's Pool is a cool place to escape the summer heat.
The Garden of St Erth is also a garden of plenty, with fruit trees and food plants, espaliered heirloom fruit trees and a permaculture-style food forest. All the produce from the garden is used in our cafe so you can not only see it growing but taste it as well.The Retail outlet and Nursery has all your gardening needs, heirloom seeds, fruit trees, drought tolerant plants, DIY books and seasonal, heirloom seed potato varieties, spring bulbs and more!
The Diggers Club is committed to sustainable gardening and visitors will find inspirational ideas for gardening organically, becoming more self-sufficient and saving precious water while still enjoying nature's bounty.We are continually refining the garden,looking towards a greener future.We run workshops every fortnight, details are on our website- www.diggers.com.au
