Set on three acres in Caramut, Yamba is a passionate plant collector’s garden on a working Western District farm, filled with a variety of perennials, grasses, trees, hedges, and bulbs.

Owner Helen Diprose is a dedicated Open Gardens Victoria volunteer and talented flower arranger. Her plant selection reflects her hobby and includes stunning cut flowers such as dahlias, delphinium, peony, and chrysanthemum.

Bulbs are planted en masse, with bluebells in profusion under the forty oaks on the property and daffodils in long beds with pencil pines at regular intervals. A striking feature of the garden is an array of beautifully clipped hedges.
