Birchwood's one-acre garden is set in picturesque farmland and rolling hills...
Birchwood’s primary goals are to open our one acre garden for a Charity Weekend Open Garden Event and to host Garden Weddings and other Major Events. We love to work and relax in our beautiful garden landscape and to continually upgrade the displays to perfect an ideal backdrop for Weddings and Events.
Informal Wedding Ceremonies and Receptions. The garden is ideal for Informal Garden Wedding Ceremonies with up to 120 guests, or for smaller intimate ceremonies. Choose from several locations around the garden. The garden is also perfect for outdoor informal Wedding Receptions, Events & Celebrations with up to 100 guests. For catering, we recommend, “The Elements,” an experienced local company that specialises in outdoor events and weddings. There are many sites around the garden with profusions of flowers, generous shade and structures to facilitate your unique photographic memories. Professional Photographers are welcome to book a Photography Shoot. Prices on application.
Charity Open Garden Weekend
We also support our two local hospitals and Cancer Council Victoria with open garden weekends. The weekend of 30th - 31st October 2023 was very successful raising over $9000 that was shared between the three charities. This year we will be developing the garden for a Charity Weekend in October 2025
Group Bookings and Events We are open for private events and group bookings from clubs and organisations. We cater for Country Style Afternoon Teas and lunches. Garden Clubs and other Social Clubs are very welcome. We have hosted many PROBIS, Garden, U3A and family groups.
