We couldn’t host the annual Garden Fair without the support of key volunteers, therefore it’s paramount that proceeds from the event go back into the community.

As a result of the success of last year’s Garden Fair, we are pleased to announce that over $35,000 was reinvested back into the community.

The Beneficiaries of the 2023 Bolobek Garden Fair included:

Macedon Ranges SES
Maggie Beer Foundation
Mount Macedon & District Horticultural Society
Mt Macedon ANZAC Dawn Service Committee
Mt Macedon Carols by Candlelight
Macedon & Mount Macedon Community House
Macedon & Mount Macedon Landcare Group

Bolobek Garden Fair 2024 | Dates: Saturday 5th & Sunday 6th October | Venue: Bolobek - 370 Mount Macedon Road, Macedon.

The Team at Bolobek are very proud to be The Naming Rights Sponsor for The Bolobek Gisborne ARC TTT HRCAV Showjumping Day on the 29th September 2024.

The event will be held at the I.R. Robertson Reserve which was donated by and named in memory of Hugh's father, Ian Robertson. It is so wonderful to see the Reserve utilised so well, providing a home for over 300 equestrian club members ranging in age from 4 years to 85 years.

Entries are now open for The Bolobek Gisborne District Adult Riding Club TTT Showjumping Day 2024 via Event Secretary.

We wish the best of luck to all those competing and supporting the event.

We open Bolobek at the end of this month which is always a very popular garden opening.

It's a magnificent heritage listed rural property is situated in the foothills of the Macedon Ranges in all its full autumn glory.

The garden features mature Linden, Birch and Oaks. It truly is an oasis with a walled rose garden where mature, espaliered fruit trees augment mass climbers to clothe the walls. There are poplar and crab apple walks, lilac hedges, herbaceous borders, prize winning dahlias and a creek and fernery all tied together by sweeping lawns.

Woodland areas allow exploration of beds of mature woodland shrubs - and an orchard where over-mature trees are being steadily replaced with new plantings.

Rafaels Coffee will be providing hot drinks, there'll be Hesket Estate wine sales and plants from Autumn Joy Nursery and White House Nursery for sale at this opening.

Find out more about this garden via:

Then and now…. The first picture was taken in 2010 overlooking The Cottage and the site of what is now the vegetable garden. What a difference 14 years (and a bit of patience) can make!
