Australia's Open Garden Scheme

As well as our weekly program of wonderful open gardens, which can be found here, Open Gardens Australia also has an exciting 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.
