About this place
What to expect
During the Autumn months from mid February to approximately the end of April, the iconic Begonia House in Machattie Park is alive with the blooming of over 90 variant hybrid species of begonia. From upright standing flowers, to pendulous and foliage begonias, the house is awash in vibrant colour and beauty. Begonias have a seven-month growing period and they are re-potted twice during this time, being rather a labour intensive project for the most brilliant display. The flowers only last a short time so make sure to plan your trip to see the Begonia House. The Bathurst Begonia House sits on the eastern side of Machattie Park next to the Fernery.
