Located at Melbourne's iconic Conservatory in Fitzroy Gardens is the Victorian Garden Party Exhibition of the Decade.%% "Recreating the enchanting mansion and gardens of Melbourne's iconic Rippon Lea, this intoxicating Victorian time has been brought to life by Gerard O'Connor, Marc Wasiak and a team of amazing volunteers. A lavish, boastful time for style, with a fascination for cultural curiosities and a wild and romantic sense of perfumed love and abandonment, this exhibition has been cleverly and whimsically bought to life on behalf of the National Trust for their Garden Festival."

Gorgeous and fanciful artwork adorn from the glass ceiling and walls of the Conservatory and are surrounded by colorful and fragrant spring flowers, Cineraria and Cyclamen, and fish ponds, ornate bridges, water features and soft music will lift your spirits on a blustery spring day.

While you are there don't forget to check our Captain Cooks Cottage, the Daffodil displays, wander the expansive gardens or drop in for coffee and cake at the cafe.

Truly a vision of Victorian decadence for Spring afternoon
