For one weekend, Open Gardens South Australia and Master Landscapers of SA open the gates to some of our state’s professionally designed and built, privately owned gardens.

The festival features recently completed back and front yards of different sizes and budgets to inspire you to create a new garden or add stunning elements to your existing backyard.

If you’re a keen home gardener or planning to renovate, this festival will allow you to see some of the latest trends in garden design and discover the benefits of having a professionally designed garden.

Gardens that are not ordinarily open to the public will open their gates. The designers will be on hand to share their secrets, and you can also talk to the garden owners about their experience creating their dream garden with a designer.

Once again, the festival will be staged with the support of the SA Country Women's Association, who will staff each garden gate and serve the famous morning teas to visitors.

All profits from the festival go to supporting their city and rural community work.

You can take a lazy afternoon or make it a weekend. Tickets are $10 per garden or $50 for an all-weekend pass.
