Beautiful garden in Sydney | Wistaria Garden
- last year
Parramatta’s beautiful historic Wistaria Gardens is now part of Parramatta Park and is being restored to its former glory by Greater Sydney Parklands (GSP).
The management of the two-hectare garden and heritage listed Glengarriff House was transferred from NSW Health to Parramatta Park Trust, managed by GSP, in July 2022.
Wistaria Gardens originally formed part of the Cumberland Hospital precinct. It holds a special place in the nation’s heritage and is one of Sydney’s most intact surviving Edwardian Gardens.
The garden is highly valued by the community for its beauty, cultural heritage and as a tranquil haven on the edge of the bustling Parramatta CBD. In spring when its colourful floral display is at its finest - the picturesque garden is a major tourist attraction for the city.
GSP is undertaking horticultural improvements in the short-term to improve the condition of the garden and will consult the community on future plans to protect and restore the property. It is the start of a conversation with the community about how they would like GSP to manage Wistaria Gardens for future generations to enjoy.
Situated on the upper reaches of the Parramatta River, Wistaria Gardens and Glengarriff House are situated on land of the Burramatta clan of the Darug people.
