Branklyn Garden is by a busy main road, on the side of a hill overlooking Perth, but this is a haven of peace and colour.
Here is a small but magnificent garden with an impressive collection of rare and unusual plants. Among the most breathtaking is the Himalayan blue poppy, Meconopsis x sheldonii.
Described as the finest two acres of private garden in the country, this oasis of peace and colour is a real urban haven, within walking distance of Perth. It contains an impressive collection of many rare and unusual plants - among the most breathtaking are the Himalayan poppies, Meconopsis.
The garden is predominantly a collection of plants from China, Tibet, Bhutan and the Himalayas. There is an impressive amount of the original plants collected by the famous plant collection team Ludlow and Sheriff.
There is a rock garden with purple maple and the rare golden Cedrus. Seasonal highlights in May and June are the alpines and rhododendrons and in autumn the fiery red Acer palmatum.
This garden is lovely in Spring and also has great Autumn colours.
