ABOUT THE GARDEN

Set on 2.4ha, the Illawarra Grevillea Park was established 27 years ago by plant propagator Ray Brown. It has extensive display gardens, and a rainforest pocket, with plants from all over Australia, grevilleas being prominent in the design. Many of the plants are grafted, allowing plants from drier, cooler or hotter parts of Australia to tolerate the wet, warm and humid conditions of the NSW south coast. It includes a shop where you can buy your favourite grevilleas and other Australian native plants.

Grevillea ‘Callum’s Gold’ grows 2-3 metres high and wide. Put it in a sunny spot and it will flower for most of the year.
