Opening a diverse range of spring gardens

We have a full calendar of spring openings, providing you with access to private gardens across Victoria in their full springtime glory.

The garden has a wooden fence background, with yellow flowers in the foreground and other small plants along the soil bed.

We give back to the sector

Our Giving Program has provided funding to community organisations, schools and emerging landscape designers to support the long-term sustainability of the horticulture sector.
