Tasmania's Largest Landscaped Native Garden!

Share Margaret and Bill's excellent Tasmanian adventure!  Enjoy strolling through 22 acres of colourful landscaped native gardens, take in the stunning views and listen to the birds.  In 2001 this was wall to wall weeds but see what vision and hard work can do! Inverawe is waterwise, sustainable gardening at its best.  Visitors have said ...amazing ... inspirational...visionary...tranquil...best garden I've seen ...overwhelming.  

Come and be overwhelmed! This is a garden with a difference.  Stroll along graded paths. Take tea on the terrace and contemplate tranquility.   Inverawe shows how you can help save the planet and have fun at the same time.

Inverawe showcases Australian native plants in a landscaped setting.  If you only see one Tasmanian garden, this is it!

On arrival you receive a personal introduction to the garden and a colourful map to guide you. Interpretation signs set the garden in its historical and social context. Poetry, sculpture and whimsy add to your enjoyment. You might pick up some landscaping ideas you can adapt to your own garden and because plants are labelled you can assess what plants could work for you. At the end of the visit we will be on hand to answer any questions. We like talking to gardeners about gardens!

If you are an overseas visitor, you will find a wide variety Australian plants growing in a landscaped Australian setting.
