| Palheiro Gardens |
 Our guests are welcome to visit Palheiro Gardens, which are a Mecca for Camellia lovers, the main flowering season being from November to April. Visitors may be surprised to see typically English trees such as Oak, Beech, Chestnut and Cedar growing alongside Eucalyptus and Araucaria pines, but such is the diversity of this unique garden. Special mention must also be given to the various members of the Proteaceae family that do well here as they are generally considered difficult to grow outside their native lands. Outstanding are the Silver trees (Leucodendron argentum) and the Waratah (Telopia speciosissima).  Visit the website here: www.palheiroestate.com |
