Glenrock Gardens
Glenrock Gardens
Owners: Duayne and Camille
Address - 84 Robinsons Lane, Tenterfield
Open Hours: 9.30am - 5pm
Glenrock was originally part of the iconic Tenterfield Station, subdivided in 1901. Today the 150-acre property is home to 10 acres of stunning gardens, first designed and developed by renowned local gardener Caroline Robinson. Many locals lent their hands and hearts to the gardens over the years, and the property holds fond memories for the whole community.
The original cottage, a modest four-room dwelling, dates back to 1892. It was Chris and Annie who later poured their heart and soul into the property, doing much of the heavy lifting to shape what is now Glenrock Gardens Estate.
In January 2026, Camille and Duayne took the reins for Glenrock's next chapter. They're thrilled to welcome garden lovers back to this special place and to keep growing its story with every visitor.
The gardens are evolving with the change of ownership, and Camille, Duayne and their 2 girls are excited to add their touch to the gardens with the help of the Glenrock Garden on-site team.
Behind The Hedge
Behind The Hedge
Owners: Peter and Sandy
Address - Behind the Hedge, 454 Rouse St Tenterfield
Background
From a horse paddock to a garden with Autumn delight From dog wire fence to a manicured hedge (hence the property name) From pots to mature trees - all in 35 years. Autumn colour via 22 English oaks, combined with ornamental pears, maples and a Ginko tree. Mix those to our variety of Ash and acers trees to produce a kaleidoscope of colour. Our garden trails throughout the garden are lined with camellias and azaleas.
The garden was originally designed by a German couple. Their thoughts were of an English theme. I have developed the next phase to more encompass the change to the era in which we live, but still in keeping with tranquillity. The garden incorporates many rooms. Autumn allows our visitors to look up and admire the colours that flow and fall which draws people from all over the world.
We invite you to come and see for yourself the splendour of all the different colours.

Welcome to Our Farm and Garden
At the end of 2024, Benji and I made the move to the farm, diving straight into the soil to bring our vision to life. In our very first year, we rolled up our sleeves to build our vegetable patches and flower gardens from the ground up. While our little farm is an ongoing labor of love—with plenty of exciting projects still ahead—we are so proud of the green spaces we’ve carved out and how far they have come.
Bringing People Together
For us, the garden is just one wonderful piece of the puzzle. This farm is truly about bringing people together—using our growing green spaces and gathering areas to connect, share what we know, and give others the room to do the same.
Alongside the garden, we’ve created dedicated spaces for community events and hands-on workshops, and even built a cozy tiny house to welcome artists-in-residence, visiting farmers, and guests. Every corner of the property is designed to foster community, creativity, and a shared love for the land.
Come and Explore
We are so thrilled to open our gates for the New England Garden Festival and share our slice of the country with you. Please pack a picnic, take a slow stroll down the garden paths, and enjoy the spaces, the plants, and the place we are so proud to call home.
