Together they make up what is one of the world’s most spectacular cool climate gardens.

The full 65-hectare garden is now open every day of the year, except for Christmas and Boxing Day, which means that you can access every feature of the garden anytime you walk through the gate.

The decision to open the garden every day is an exciting development in the evolution of Mayfield, and will ensure that visitors have the best possible experience every time they visit.
