Welcome to the only original, artist-planted garden in Australia which has been providing joy and beauty to all who visit for over a century.

Hans Heysen was a passionate gardener and planned the Artist's Garden in detail, laying out most of the beds, building stonework paths, walls, steps and borders of quartz and sandstone. The most significant trees in the Artist's Garden are the enormous Himalayan cedar trees planted in the 1840s and which give the property its name.

Planted with chiefly exotic species, the garden sits beautifully with the backdrop of the magnificent gums and native flora of the wider property. Over 200 original roses planted by the Heysens, and featuring in many of Hans and Noras' still life works, grow amongst the stunning array of lilacs, iris, old fashioned perennials, camelias, hydrangeas, and more. 

Spend the day in the Artist's Garden and recharge your batteries with a dose of nature in this stunning historical location. Bring a picnic or visit the Cedars Cafe & Tea Rooms and immerse yourself in nature and beauty.
