Official registered home of the Rhododendron Lorraine Paterson
Birth place of the Cornus Greenvale
In 1963 Lorraine Paterson began the now Park like Garden that covers 6 acres of land, this was a labour of love for Lorraine and as you explore this vast garden you get a sense of the history and decades of work that have gone in to developing the garden.
The garden consists of many rhododendrons, conifers and other beautiful trees, some developed by Lorraine herself. There are ponds and streams and hidden paths to explore.
Sharon with the help of family and friends is now restoring the garden back to it’s former glory to preserve it for generations to come.
The Garden is open by appointment and will be open on select Sundays for the public to enjoy. Highlights of the year are family days held for Easter and Christmas with Bunny and Elf hunts to delight the children while adults can enjoy the garden.

Located in the deep south at 162 Greenvale School Road, RD5 Gore, the Paterson Park and Gardens makes for a perfect group tour.
We can offer a leisurely walk (or ride in our farm buggy) in our magnificent garden with morning tea, afternoon tea or whatever your group prefers.
The Garden is open by appointment or weekends from the 2nd weekend in October until Christmas. Café and Gift Shop also open. We can offer group tours with nibbles or morning / afternoon tea and during the winter months we offer felt scarf making lessons.
