Forest Glade Gardens, renowned as the second most beautiful garden in Australia, is located at Mount Macedon in Victoria. This garden spans 14 acres and is divided into four themed sections. The English-style garden features vibrant flowers, grand trees, and rare plant species. The Japanese garden is filled with charming bonsai trees. The woodland garden offers large trees providing shade, creating a tunnel-like effect. The final section is the fern forest, which feels like stepping into a real forest. The garden is well-maintained, with areas for picnics and plant study. Highly recommended for those looking for a beautiful place to visit and take photos.

Melbourne enters its charming autumn at the end of April and the beginning of May, which is the best time to enjoy the maple leaves. Mount Macedon is an hour's drive from the city and is a great place to enjoy the maple leaves. As the most famous century-old garden in the Macedon Ranges, Forest Glade Garden is our first choice. We also found several beautiful gardens along the way, but unfortunately, we didn't have enough time, and they were closed when we came out of the forest. Maybe it was because we were shut out, but looking through the fence, the scenery seemed even better than Forest Glade. Melbourne, Victoria

#OverseasTravel **ForestGlideGarden** Visit was a magical journey into the heart of nature 🌸. The garden features a variety of beautiful plants and flowers blooming in every corner, creating a calm and refreshing atmosphere 🌷. The old tree-shaded corridors were perfect for walking and enjoying the beauty of nature 🌿. I enjoyed taking pictures of the colorful flowers and the beautiful fountain that added aesthetic sense to the place 📸. The quiet session in the middle of the green was a relaxing experience to relax and listen to the birds 🌺. There was also a small cafe that served delicious drinks and food, making the visit even more enjoyable 🍰. It was a fun experience and I am looking forward to coming back to explore more of this park's charms 😊.
