Australia's Open Garden Scheme

Australia's Open Garden Scheme is a non-profit organisation promoting the knowledge and pleasure of gardens and gardening across Australia. This is done by opening Australia's most inspiring private gardens to the public.

Gardens of every size, style and description are opened to the public. Old and young, large and small, from inner city courtyards to grand country estates, from tropical gardens to the more traditional gardens of the temperate south.

The Scheme has about 8,000 gardens on its books, with new gardens being discovered all the time. Each season opens with around 650 private gardens to the public. Each of the gardens usually opens for just one or two weekends.
