The National Trust brings Australia's heritage alive at Everglades Gardens. Drawing from the great traditions of European landscape design as well as the unique Blue Mountains bushland, Everglades will charm with its grace and beauty.
Constructed in the 1930's by Danish-born landscape gardener Paul Sorensen in conjuction with owner Henri van de Velde, Everglades gardens is Australia's most spectacular inter-war period garden and has received acclaim from garden lovers worldwide.
A stroll along formal European-style terraces and winding paths will reveal the many moods of Everglades from the tranquil Reflection Pool amongst towering trees from all over the world, through rose-lined walks down to the subtle charms of the lookout and contemplative Grotto Pool. You will enjoy the surprise unveiling of vistas through to Mt Solitary and the Jamieson Valley in the 5.2 hectare gardens with its Moderne- style 1930's home.
Everglades is the perfect venue for garden tours and picnics, wedding ceremonies, photo shoots and small events. The Gardens are open every day of the year.
