the state rose garden, werribee south

Mamma LOVES a good family picnic spot and this is up there with the best in Melbourne. Obviously this place looks different at each season but it i always lovely! The Rose Garden is magical with a touch of whimsy where you can’t help feeling that you’ve fallen down Alice’s rabbit hole into an intoxicating flower paradise.

Imagine a sea of roses of every type and in every colour, stretching out as far as the eye can see.  

The garden itself is meticulously set out in the shape of a rose with shady spots around the edge and a gazebo to escape a spring shower or summery heat. 

Mamma's special mention:
To experience the roses in full bloom November and March are the best times to visit - make sure you journey on into the Werribee Park Mansion grounds for some more adventure!
