Relax and enjoy a spring weekend visiting designer gardens in Victoria, the Garden State. Join a friendly tour and take the stress out of finding these outstanding gardens on your own.

Escorted by Horticulturist and Garden Designer Beverley Read, a self confessed “plantaholic”, you will visit some of Melbourne’s most stunning residential gardens. Travel by bus in relaxed air-conditioned comfort and take in all that both our prominent and upcoming designers have to offer. This represents an exclusive opportunity to visit privately owned gardens, rarely opened to the public, with the added bonus of having the designer present at the open gardens to meet, greet and answer your design queries.

Take a one or two day tour - each day you will see at least six different gardens, enjoying a light lunch with refreshments en route. With over 20 gardens open the variety is enticing, the plant pictures a delight to the eye and the professional designs full of inspiring ideas to take home.

You will also be supporting a wonderful cause. Organised by the Rotary Club of Kew, with John Patrick as Chairman, all proceeds from the event are donated to charity.

Cost:
$90 one day, $150 for two days (inclusive of $25 entry ticket, full colour garden guidebook, transport, experienced tour guide, lunch & light refreshments.)
