Buda Historic Home and Garden
Enjoy the charm of Buda, an authentic house and garden surviving from the Gold rush era, tracing one creative family's history over 118 years. See how life was for the Leviny family from 1863 and enjoy the large garden full of old world plants. The 1.2 hectare garden offers a rare insight into the ideals and aspirations of two generations of a family of keen gardeners. Fashionable elements vary from elaborate Victorian-style flower beds to the simple geometry of the formal garden reflecting early 20th century tastes. Most of the plants brought into the garden since the 1860s have remained to form a unique heritage collection.
Our current winter theme Fancy That! is a cameo exhbition of the Leviny family's textiles that will run until the end of September. The Buda collection contains over 650 textiles items, from lace trims, d'oyleys, clothing and personal effects, to stylised and decorative wall-hangings, hand-printed table linen and rag-rugs. This exhibition focuses on items made mainly by the Leviny women, that show a range of both useful and decorative pieces, spanning almost 100 years from 1860's to 1960's.
Visit our retail and propagating Plant Nursery specialising in the great survivors of the goldfields, with many rare and unusual plants. The nursery has its origins as a stock of replacement plants all grown from seed, cuttings, bulbs, corms and tubers collected in the historic garden.
