Garden 1: The Braes. This is the largest private garden in the 2022 festival - lots to see here, but some areas were closed because of the wet ground.

Garden 2: Karoola. A creek runs through this garden, so traversing it requires mountain goat like skills.

Eating at Unique Patisserie in Katoomba. It was so busy and packed the place was full - including the open area at the back!

Garden 3: Seasons is a small but colourful garden that is popular with visitors. The alphine phlox is glorious here!

Garden 4: Avila - a small but interesting garden.

Garden 5: Fairmont Resort - it’s so good to see they have enhanced the resort to include sculptures, horses, adventure park and even a maze!

Garden No 6: Ewanrigg - we have visited this garden several times before, I have always liked it.

Garden 7: Fairways - an interesting garden with a terracotta warrior, tennis court and a delightful bridge and beautiful blossoms.

Garden 8: Everglades - traditionally the last stop in the garden festival, I’ve always liked this quirky house and extensive gardens. We found a few people willing to take photos of us using my camera, and one of them was so pro he was adjusting the angle of the flash.
