The Garden

The house is set on an acre of garden surrounded by beautiful mature trees, many of which are specifically nominated as protected specimens under the city's district plan.

The formal garden is structured around original terraces, paths and flowing lawns. The garden features a large conservatory that has been recently restored based upon the original plans of 1904. The heated conservatory features a display of plants all year round.

The individual spaces that make up the garden include many original plantings of fine rhododendrons and native plants. There are a number of seats around the grounds to allow visitors some rest and relaxation while taking in the special vistas that the garden provides.

The garden is tended all year round and provides the visitor with another interesting dimension of the life lived at Olveston. A visit would not be complete without a walk around the gardens.
