Make a day of it with something for everyone:
• End-of-season Plant Sale (25% OFF selected plants – overstocked!)
• Sausage sizzle & coffee van, cakes and crafts
• Bring a picnic and enjoy the lawn and sheltered picnic areas
• Kids love to walk the labyrinth lawn, plus the fully-fenced playground
• E-buggy also available for guided tours

This Open Day is part of Botanic Gardens Week 2026, celebrating the important role botanic gardens play in supporting health, wellbeing and connection to nature.

All plants offered for sale are grown by Friends and Volunteers who cherish good, hardy plants that perform in the garden, including some hard to find plants, plus old fashioned plants no longer available in nurseries. There will be plenty of opportunity to talk to the growers and Friends of the gardens to discuss what you need in your garden.

No dogs allowed as they are a bird habitat area, for the Latham’s Snipe, a migratory bird species protected at a federal level under Australian environmental law.
