Situated in the beautiful Blue Mountains 100 kms west of Sydney, the cool climate gardens of Leura are famous for their magnificent displays of azaleas, rhododendrons, dogwoods, camellias and other exotics, as well as flowering annuals, perennials and bulbs. The blaze of springtime colour in the gardens attracts visitors from all parts of Australia and overseas.
There are large and small gardens in the Festival and each garden has its own distinctive character.
Accessibilty to Gardens
The Leura Gardens Festival welcomes everybody who respects both the gardens and the generosity of the garden owners who open their private gardens.
Please note that strollers must not be taken into any garden, and children must at all times be accompanied by an adult. We would ask, too, that you please keep a close eye on your children as it is very easy for plants to be damaged. Dogs (except for assistance dogs) or other animals are not permitted to enter any garden. Visitors to gardens must stay on paths at all times and keep out of areas marked 'no entry'.
*** Many private gardens are not designed for wheelchair access, although there are some gardens where a part inspection is possible with interesting views of the garden and scenery. Just ask one of our volunteers and they will assist in this regard. Please note: the person in the wheelchair enjoys free entry and there is no charge for the Carer.
