The spring time blooms at Snow Road Nursery are just beautiful. We commissioned a photographer to capture it in its full glory. The nursery should stay in its spring bloom until the weather heats up. Now is a good time to visit us to choose plants for your garden that burst to colour at this time of the year. We are a short drive from Wangaratta which will take you through the Milawa Gourmet Region. A great day out for all the family.

bloom consistently during the colder months when little else is flowering.
