Australia's Open Garden Scheme

AOGS Special Events

As well as our extensive and exciting program of open gardens, which can be found here, Australia's Open Garden Scheme also has a large range of special events throughout the year.

These special events range from the opening of internationally renowned gardens to the opportunity to be part of a small group at lectures or pre-booked openings.

Some events require pre-booking as numbers are strictly limited.

Where pre-booking is required we urge you to book well ahead of time to avoid disappointment.
