North American Garden Fagan Park

Details

Identifiernot specifiedDate1988Photographernot specifiedDescriptionIn 1980 Bruce Fagan and his sister Ida donated their family Galston property, 'Netherby', to the NSW Government for public use. Hornsby Shire Council became the trustee and developed the land into Fagan Park as its Bicentennial project in 1988.
Before his death in 1984, Bruce Fagan was consulted in regard to development plans for the site.
Hornsby Shire Council received a Bicentennial Grant towards the cost of the planned “Garden of all Nations” at Fagan Park. The garden covers a 10 hectare site in Arcadia Road and is part of the larger 55 hectare Fagan Park.
The garden features the flora of gardens from all over the world including North and South America,
England, Netherlands, Africa, Asia and the Mediterranean. The original homestead ‘Netherby’, the original packing shed and milking complex were all restored in time for the bicentennial year and is being used as a rural museum. Fagan Park also includes picnic and barbecue facilities, playgrounds and bushwalking trails.
The Premier of the time, Nick Greiner, officially opened the park and gardens on November 5, 1988 with over 500 people in attendance. In 1989 a plaque was unveiled in honour of Sam and Emma Fagan at the park.
