This is a unique opportunity to see an inspiring garden over two seasons - summer and autumn! We are opening the garden for one Sunday in summer (Sunday 7th December) and one Sunday in autumn (Sunday 19th April 2026). There is a special price for attending the garden on both days or you can visit just once.
The garden is beautifully designed by the garden owner herself, Jacquie Chirgwin, using existing mature trees. Her garden shows an amazing eye for detail both in the hard landscaping and in the planting itself. There are lovely plant combinations that work through all the seasons.
There is plenty of inspiration for all, whether your garden is large or small.
Jacquie's business is Hope & Heart Garden Design and she has designed and cared for gardens of all types in Melbourne and the UK for more than 30 years.
Please note: the closest toilets are at The Pines Shopping Centre.
The Garden of Hope is located on the lands of the Wurundjeri People. Open Gardens Victoria wish to acknowledge the Traditional custodians of this land and we pay respect to their Elders, past, present and emerging.
Extra Activities in the Area:
Heide Museum and garden
Warrandyte Shops and River
