As in classical Italian gardens, pencil pines stand tall amongst tightly clipped hedges and topiary softened with many roses, lavender and flowering plants. Views over neighboring vineyards add to the Italianate feel. The gumtree-studded surroundings are unmistakably Australian, but Bellosguardo Estate has all the hallmarks of a classical Italianate garden—symmetry, tightly clipped hedges, topiary, pencil pines, and more! A superb spiral sculpture constructed from bricks, a well-stocked vegetable garden and beautiful stonework.
From an almost blank canvas 22 years ago, there is now plenty to interest and immerse you in this large garden.
