We love the great outdoors in Australia and South Australia's Adelaide Hills have produced some of the most stunning gardens. But where are the most beautiful gardens in the Adelaide Hills?

The Adelaide Hills have four distinct seasons which offer something unusual and different in each one:

In Spring they come alive with bulbs, in the Summer season they provide a welcome relief from the heat, Autumn brings beautiful colours and Winter, the most romantic mists and lovely scenery.



So where are the best Gardens in Adelaide Hills; to get the ball rolling, a few that you may like to visit include:

Mount Lofty Botanic Gardens has a over 97 hectares of Magnolias, Rhododendrons, Ferns, Camelias, Roses and native plants along several walking trails. If you climb to the top of the trails you can see lovely views of the Piccadilly Valley along with some picnic areas. If you do not want to do it on your own, every Thursday at 10:30 am in autumn and spring there are guided walks.

Entry to the garden is free.

Daylily Garden is at Kumnick Hill Rd in Lemswood.
