We have lived in and around the township of Wandin in Victoria's east for many years. We purchased our current property in 1975 with no real intention of turning the entire 8 acres into gardens. In 1989 the orchard consisting of cherries and plums was bulldozed and the rest is history. Katandra Gardens has become our life and our passion and we welcome you to visit and share it with us next time you are passing through the Yarra Valley.
