Alowyn Gardens in Yarra Glen - Questions and answers

Is the wisteria at its best now ( oct 9th) or should we wait a week or two? Thanks

The wisteria should be at its best in about a week with all this sun around for the next few days. Thanks, the Alowyn Team

Do Boston Ivy climbers stick to brick walls ? Actually stick, never to be removed ? Thanks. Also do you sell them ?

Hi Jacqueline Yes, Boston Ivy grow onto brick walls successfully and will not come off by itself and is not known to create any damage to the wall. Many buildings in England have Boston ivy growing on their walls for hundreds of years with little damage. Sorry, there are none in stock presently. We are waiting for orders to come, we expext them by the end of September. We can reserve them for you if you wish to call 9730-2400 during the week. Kind regards John Van de Linde Alowyn Gardens

Can I bring my dog? Do you have rules like Bunnings 'must be muzzled'? Thanks in advance.

I don't think so. Last time I was there, I remembered having seen couple of ppl with dogs on leash..

Is it dog friendly?

Dogs are not allowed on the premises. Someone got bit a year or so ago and since then not allowed.

Hi, which week is best to visit with the wisteria in full bloom?

It's just starting to bud up now so, sometime after a week from now should have the flowers in full bloom, maybe check out their instagram site too.

On holiday in Yarra Valley for next 4 days. Is wisteria or any colour of blossoms or flowers out now?

Not yet, it should start appearing next month.

Is there an entrance fee?

$10 full admission, $8.50 for concession (senior, student)
