NE Autumn Garden Trail

The New England Garden Festival's inaugural Autumn Garden Trail starts in just over four weeks and will traverse the New England towns of Uralla, Armidale, Guyra, Glen Innes and Tenterfield starting in Uralla on 29th April and finishing on 3rd May in Tenterfield.

It is based on the highly successful Spring Garden Trail that we ran last year, which was wrapped around the Garden Festival in November. The Spring Garden Trail brought visitors from QLD, VIC, SA and all over NSW injecting over $2 million dollars to the New England region.

The inaugural New England Autumn Garden Trail, organised by the New England Garden Festival (NEGF) team, will travel across the beautiful New England region in five days, opening approximately 12 cold climate, private gardens to visitors. Highlights include the special opening of the photographically famous, Gostwyck Chapel near Uralla, an Autumn Tree bus trip around Armidale and spending a special day in Glen Innes at the Australian Celtic Festival.

Visitors are encouraged to stay overnight in each town to maximize their time exploring the gardens. Before the Garden Trail commences, visitors are also welcome to stay in Walcha on Sunday night just to experience the natural vibrant colour within this cool climate town.

After the gardens close, take the opportunity to admire and photograph the stunning autumn foliage and explore the region’s must-visit local spots before heading to the next town.

Over five days, immerse yourself in the breathtaking beauty of the New England in autumn—truly a delight for gardening inspiration or a relaxing break from a busy life!
