Glen Innes Highlands’ unique climate allows for many gardeners to produce stunning cool climate gardens.
Unlike most of Australia’s gardens, gardens of the New England must be drought hardy, frost resistant and be prepared for downpours of rain (except in drought times…).
Each change of the four seasons bring about a new journey for gardeners in the area. British settlers named this area the New England because the climate reminded them of their homeland, it is because of this and the cooler climate that many gardens in Glen Innes take on an old English style.
The Glen Innes Garden Club is very active as are a lot of community groups who host garden tours throughout the year.
Explore the local parks and gardens as well as the church gardens around town. Take a drive through the tree-lined streets to see what people are planting or choose your own at the Cool Climate Garden Centre.
