Windyridge Garden - Mt Wilson
Windyridge Gardens at Mount Wilson dates from 1877, with the first planted first tree, a Swiss Christmas Tree (Abies amabilis) in August 1945. Now the
garden includes Cedrus deodara, copper beech, pin oaks, maples, ginkos, azaleas, rhododendrons, dogwoods and nyssas - which today tower in
splendour over the gardens.
During Easter 1995, Rodger and Wai Davidson, of Davidson's Nurseries at Galston, in Sydney, purchased Windyridge to accommodate their expanding
collection of cold climate plants. Work commenced under Wai's supervision to transform Windyridge into a grand garden. After tree maintenance work,
Landscape Architect Gordon Sykes was retained to terrace and plant a vast grassy slope and give substance to the new owners' vision.
Mt Wilson, just two hours northwest of Sydney, 3000 feet above sea level and ringed by cool green rainforests, is a landscaped oasis bounded by world
heritage area Blue Mountains National Park on one side and the Wollanganbe Wilderness on the other. The mountain has rich volcanic soil and is noted for
its cool climate gardens, which attract visitors all year, but especially in spring and autumn.
