Pirianda Gardens are located just outside of Olinda in the Dandenong Ranges just outside Melbourne.
The gardens history commences as an orchard in the late 1890s. In the early 1900s it was used foe sheep and cattle and at this time the first plantings of ornamental trees by Thomas Crook.
After this the property was used for horse aggistment and then for growing vegetable crops.

Cammy O'Keefe Presents '' Alfred Nicholas Memorial Gardens ''
Take a walk with us through the beautiful, tranquil gardens of Alfred Nicholas. The park comprises of quite a few acres (not sure how many) but if you are well prepared, you could explore much! We do wish we could get into the Mansion, but that's been off-limits for years. It is privately owned yet seldom used for anything.
