at Dower House Melbourne

The Dower House is once again open for the first session of the year – showcasing a beautiful display of early snowdrops.

The Dower House Garden in Melbourne has a breathtaking view south over the borrowed landscape of Melbourne Pool, seen from a balustraded terrace running the length of the house (built 1829 and extended by Adam Architecture in 2015). Paths and steps descend either side of this terrace down a large bank covered in various shrubs and roses to the lower lawn.
