Welcome
Located in the beautiful Southern Highlands of New South Wales, just 2 hours drive from either Sydney or Canberra and 1 hour from Wollongong.
The Secret Garden is the love child of Kathy Finigan, a horticulturalist with over 30 years of experience. Established in 1994, the garden has grown to cover the full 5 acres of the property, spanning different aspects and faces of the property to give completely different growing climates, accommodating a range of plants.
Whether you are engaged or getting married, you have an important event or simply want to get some beautiful photography done, The Secret Garden is the perfect location. With a myriad of different areas in the garden, no two photos will look the same.
